Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S.
Yet many conditions still aren’t commonly understood or, worse, are stigmatized. At the same time, research has long proven the treatability of anxiety disorders and OCD. There is hope, but there’s also work to do to build awareness, understanding, and access.
Dr. Marina Gershkovich speaks to clinicians, nonprofit and mental health organizations, and the general public about the science behind anxiety and OCD and their treatments. Topics are customized to the audience and setting. Examples include:
-
In 2021, “postpartum depression” has made its way into our shared dialogue, but other experiences like perinatal anxiety (PPA or PMADs) and postpartum OCD are rarely discussed and may go under- or misdiagnosed due to lack of standardized screening and the potential shame associated with symptoms. Using her clinical experience and research, Dr. Gershkovich unpacks new insights and strategies on this critical issue.
