Over those years he's worked with hundreds of people with OCD. His clinical work centers on psychiatric medication management for OCD, alongside the therapy referrals that pair with it.

How Conicia articles are written
Every page in this library is created and clinically directed by Dr. Fisher, and he is also the one who medically reviews it. Every published article shows its last-reviewed date and cites sources you can check, and statistics link to the source they come from, not to another blog. Pages that touch harm, postpartum, or crisis topics carry a crisis line and receive his personal line-by-line review.

A note from Dr. Fisher
I built this library thinking about my own patients, and about people I love who have struggled without a name for what was happening to them. If one of these pages reaches someone in a hard moment and helps them treat themselves a little more kindly, it did its job.
