Brief description of study
Studies show that hormones affect the brain’s fear extinction network, which is relevant for therapy involving exposure and ritual prevention (EX/RP), a first-line treatment for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). This study will examine the effect of delivering EX/RP to women during different phases in their menstrual cycle to determine the effects of hormones on the fear extinction network and on their OCD symptoms, with the long-term goal of optimizing EX/RP for individuals suffering from OCD. Men will also be recruited for this study to further explore biological sex differences.
