Dopamine + Doubt: Untangling ADHD and OCD

health, fitness, mental, education, self improvement · EN-US

Dopamine and Doubt is a podcast about the overlap between ADHD and OCD—and what happens when it’s hard to tell which one is driving the behavior. Hosted by therapist Rachel Keefe, LCSW, the show explores ADHD and OCD symptoms including executive functioning difficulties, hyperfixation, reassurance seeking, intrusive thoughts, rumination, checking, avoidance, time blindness, and uncertainty. Each short episode breaks down confusing or relatable experiences in plain language, with real-life examples and practical strategies. You’ll learn how ADHD and OCD can look similar, where they differ, and how to respond when your brain gets stuck trying to figure everything out. Because the goal isn’t always to find the perfect answer. Sometimes, it’s learning to live with a little more uncertainty—and a little less doubt.
