In Louise Epstein and Ola Hermanson’s podcast “I hjärnan på Louise Epstein”, Diana is interviewed about obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
She talks about what we know about what happens in the brain of patients with OCD, about diagnostics and the psychological treatment: exposure with ritual prevention. The treatment involves finding the obsessions and refraining from doing what feels right in the moment but in the long run upholds the problems. Author Amanda Romare also participates in the podcast and talks about her own experiences with OCD and CBT treatment.
Diana also talks about her research on Deep brain stimulation for patients with severe OCD who have not responded to various forms of psychotherapy and/or medication.
