An estimated one in 50 people suffer from OCD, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood and under-treated mental health conditions around the world. ‘Exposure’ follows a group of young people with OCD as they confront their worst fears in a groundbreaking treatment that could transform their lives.
Paige spends three to four hours every day checking locks, alarms, and text messages. Zoe is ruled by rigid rules around numbers and stepping on cracks, convinced that breaking them will bring harm to the people she loves. Lia can no longer visit her childhood home or the friends she grew up with, afraid she’ll be contaminated with bad luck. They know their fears are irrational but that knowledge changes nothing.
We follow them as they undertake the Bergen Four-Day Treatment (B4DT), an intensive treatment developed in Norway that has achieved 70% remission rates in international studies.
