'Our Strange Thoughts' David Adam in conversation with Oliver James

Have you ever had the sudden fear that you didn’t lock the back door? Or the disturbing thought of jumping in front of an oncoming train? You are not alone. Most of us experience strange thoughts and compulsions that occur to us ‘out of the blue’. They can sometimes be distressing and embarassing, but they are also very common. For many people, they spiral into the living nightmare of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). OCD is estimated to afflict roughly 750,000 people in the UK alone. But what exactly is it? Where do its characteristic thoughts and explanations come from? And can a psychoanalytic approach shed light on this debilitating condition? Join David Adam and Oliver James for an intimate exploration of the experience of OCD and its possible explanations.
