Mental health discussions in Swedish media

In a second news item, Christian Rück appeared as an expert in a TV4 report on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The report was based on Mikaela Eklund’s personal experience of living with OCD. Christian Rück explained how the disorder can manifest and stressed that effective treatments are available – primarily cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and medication. Link: Tv4
