- 13:17Right?
- 13:18Don't
- 13:18let
- 13:18that
- 13:18off
- 13:18your

- 13:19Because
- 13:20a
- 13:20lot
- 13:20of
- 13:21obsessions
- 13:22are
- 13:22violent
- 13:22in

- 13:28on
- 13:29any
- 13:29kind
- 13:29of
- 13:29violent
- 13:30thoughts.
- 13:30Right?
- 13:30But
- 13:30it's
- 13:31just
- 13:31one
- 13:31of
- 13:31the
- 13:31subtypes
- 13:32of
- 13:33ocd,
- 13:34right,
- 13:34where
- 13:35you
- 13:35have
- 13:35contamination
- 13:36and
- 13:36cleaning
- 13:37fears,
- 13:38responsibility,
- 13:39checking,
- 13:39where
- 13:39you
- 13:39check
- 13:40locks
- 13:40or

- 13:45aggressive,
- 13:46or
- 13:46sexual
- 13:46in

- 13:48And
- 13:48you
- 13:48have

- 13:49right?
- 13:49So
- 13:49there's
- 13:49many
- 13:50variations.
- 13:51They
- 13:51don't
- 13:51all
- 13:51come
- 13:52separately.
- 13:52Sometimes
- 13:53they're
- 13:53mixed.
- 13:54So

- 20:55is
- 20:55usually
- 20:55a
- 20:55fixed
- 20:56false
- 20:56belief.
- 20:57And
- 20:57usually
- 20:57the
- 20:57patient
- 20:58has
- 20:58poor
- 20:58insight.
- 20:59Well,
- 20:59that's

- 21:02in
- 21:02all
- 21:02likelihood
- 21:04she's

- 21:07compelled
- 21:08anyway
- 21:09to
- 21:09behave
- 21:09in
- 21:09certain
- 21:10ways
- 21:10to
- 21:10mitigate
- 21:11her
- 21:11risk.
- 21:12But
- 21:12that's
- 21:13very
- 21:13different
- 21:13than
- 21:13I
- 21:13am.
- 21:14Sure,
- 21:14I

- 21:15my
- 21:16coffee.
- 21:16Right.
- 21:17If
- 21:18that's
- 21:18what
- 21:19you're
- 21:19dealing
- 21:19with,
- 21:19you're
- 21:20probably
- 21:20dealing

- 21:22go
- 21:22down
- 21:22the
- 21:22schizophrenia
- 21:23path.
- 21:24But
- 21:24she's
- 21:25pretty
- 21:25clear
- 21:25that
- 21:26she's
- 21:27very
- 21:27disturbed
- 21:27by
- 21:28these
- 21:28symptoms.
- 21:28She
- 21:28would
- 21:28rather
- 21:29not
- 21:29have
- 21:29them,
- 21:29but
- 21:29she
- 21:30feels
- 21:30compelled.
- 21:31Now,
- 21:31is
- 21:31this
- 21:31generalized
- 21:32anxiety
- 21:33disorder?
- 21:33That's
- 21:33something
- 21:33to
- 21:34think
- 21:34about.
- 21:34Of
- 21:34course.
- 21:35That's
- 21:35very
- 21:35comorbid.
- 21:36In
- 21:36practice,
- 21:37my
- 21:37friends,

- 21:42plate
- 21:43like.
- 21:43Like
- 21:43spaghetti
- 21:44and
- 21:44meatballs.
- 21:45You're
- 21:45going
- 21:45to
- 21:45get
- 21:45spaghetti
- 21:46and
- 21:46meatballs,
- 21:47and
- 21:47then
- 21:47there's
- 21:47going
- 21:48to
- 21:48be
- 21:48vanilla
- 21:48ice
- 21:48cream

- 21:58Right?
- 21:59So
- 21:59generalized
- 22:00anxiety
- 22:00could
- 22:00absolutely
- 22:01coexist
