After a year and a half on the waiting list, 21 year-old Ali arrives at the UK’s only acute OCD inpatient unit. Ali talks to Stacey about the many faces of OCD - since childhood, her rituals have changed from repetitive tapping during stressful exams, and blinking to keep her parents safe in the car, to extreme bathroom routines. For severe OCD cases like Ali’s, this ward is her last chance at beating this devastating condition.
