Yesterday's episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show focused on OCD. Regular Oprah guest Dr. Mehmet Oz and OCD expert Dr. Jonathan Grayson held a 3-day "boot camp" for six people suffering from OCD.

Dr. Grayson used techniques like "exposure and response prevention" to help lessen his participants' symptoms. Examples included group hugs and touching toilet seats (and then licking one's fingers!), without compensatory washing.

Dr. Oz noted that OCD is quite the opposite of Oprah's recommended "living in the moment." He described recovery from OCD as embracing one's life and one's fears.
