Hi Nathan,

Thanks for your video on post partum OCD. I experienced this when my wife was pregnant with our first child. I had horrendous thoughts that I could poison the child that my wife was carrying. As a consequence, I was officially diagnosed with OCD when I was 35 years old - though I had suffered (unknowingly) OCD thoughts since I was young. My daughter is now 31 years old but I still have to deal with OCD in a variety of ways even now, Thanks for your insights into OCD - they are invaluable and much appreciated,

Tony
