If you haven’t already heard A&E has produced a docuseries called Obsessed that examines the lives of everyday people that are imprisoned by anxiety disorders, repetitiveness and fear.  The people featured in the show are those suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and even social disorder.

Obsessed premiered last week and the next episode will be Monday, June 8th at 10pm EST. You can find the full schedule on A&E’s website.

One thng I like about what I have read about the show so far is that the therapist is using cognitive behavioral therapy to help the subjects understand their thought processes which contribute to their symptoms.

If you have been reading my blog for while, you’d know that I believe that many of the symptoms associated with these disorders can be managed effectively by becoming aware of how we think and modifying such thoughts.

I missed the premier episode, but luckily some episodes are available online, so I will make sure to watch them at a later time as this show seems really interesting.  I encourage you to watch the episodes too, the first step to awareness is realizing that you are not alone.  There are others going through the same things you are.
