@msmirandasawyer.bsky.social @talk90stome.bsky.social - somehow had missed the Elis James Ep till this week. Incredibly entertaining and a shout out to an obscure Welsh Band I’d heard of called #Datblygu.
Here they are on a set I designed in 1989 in Wales for a show called Y Bocs #welshrock #ybocs

Ace ep, didn’t know much about Elis before, just thought he was very funny
Amazing that they are still performing, I’ve other pics from that day, would love to see show. I also helped design the title sequence. #ybocs
Was in Wales a lot from 86-89, student in Newport then working for BBC Wales

took the YBOCS ocd screener for the first time in a long time and woo boy it rules to always check pretty much every box in the "past" section, no wonder i'm fuckin wiped

I'm with an NHS clinic & didn't have to do the YBOCS, just the OCI #OCDTalkHour

I was just realizing yesterday that I'll probably have to take the YBOCS test again. Even though I know it's probably necessary, I really hate that you have to go through all that testing crap on the first visit when you have been waiting so long that you're actually finally in the mood to 

ok but it's WILD how diverse OCD is bc this is exactly how i felt!! i looked at my YBOCS score saying "severe" and was like 🤔 "well fuck" LOL

tbh the ologies eps on ocd REALLY helped me verbalize my "just right" ocd and get a corrected diagnosis (before it said mild/ocd tendencies i think)

To OCD specialists: next to the YBOCS, what other self-report scales would you give OCD patients who obsess about sexuality, gender, and relationships in order to establish the seriousness of their symptoms? @ocdbaltimore @YaleOCDResearch @IOCDF @Freudulant @AdamRadomsky

Take the YBOCS test

Accessing therapy when have high YBOCS score but turned down as too complex, trying to get right to choose to OHSPIC, but long waits and been told by OCD Action need specialist treatment. The frustration of being fobbed off while housebound 6 years

well my score indicated “severe ocd symptoms” for my ybocs assessment so let’s throw that one onto the list now too. what the fuck is wrong with me (many things)

Is the efficacy of SSRIs for OCDs clinically significant?
"Our study shows the smallest observable difference, or MID, for clinicians (4.9 YBOCS points) to be larger than the 3.5-point treatment effect found in short-term efficacy trials on...

The self-report one. People seem to report a wider range and diversity of the themes of obsessions and compulsions on YBOCS compared to what they'll report on their own during a clinical interview, at least in my experience so far. [I haven't really used other OCD questionnaires.]

Elko, we just updated TDBRAIN, with more diagnosis, over 500 now with formal Dx and all item level NEO-FFI and Dx specific scored scales… if you need more detailed info, email me at martijn@brainclinics.com and can discuss what else I can get for you…eg item level BDI, ADHD-RD, YBOCS etc

Yes symptom data are included eg BDI, ADHD-RS, YBOCS and NEO-FFI incl item level!

So, here’s a copy of the YBOCS that should calculate your score for you

If you think you have ADHD but are not diagnosed

Or you’re a really intense person about routine or irrational fears

Consider taking this screening

self-ID of autism should involve ruling everything else out/in to be safe 🫶🏻

It sounds like stimulants aren’t for you. I would look into non stimulants for ADHD and make completely sure you don’t have OCD. The Yale brown ocd scale (YBOCS) is free in some places and an excellent screener. I used to have an excellent self score version but the author took it down.

If we can map these symptoms using the YBOCS, AQ, RAADS, and CAT-Q - We can help people with OCD (co-ocurring or not) & validate people who may be Autistic but don't need/want the formal diagnosis.

Validation leads to unmasking.

Unmasking leads to reduced suicidal ideation.

Someone plz make this!

Psychometric Evaluation of the Japanese Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale Modified for Olfactory Reference Disorder (ORD-YBOCS-J) https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.08.19.24312169v1

I use the YBOCS almost every (week)day ☺️

My version of using ChatGPT to manage the tone of an email is called “obsessive compulsive disorder” (it’s okay I can joke about it bc according to the YBOCS and my therapist I meet diagnostic criteria)

Hot girls score over 35 on YBOCS

TL;DR: A 2026 trial in Journal of Psychopharmacology found that repeated supervised psilocybin sessions reduced Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (YBOCS) scores, a standard measure of obsession and compulsion severity, in 15 adults with OCD.

…which evidenced moderate agreement with the YBOCS yet went beyond many predetermined categories. We found these compulsions were prevalent at different rates and differentially impacted treatment outcomes based on trauma exposure (Pinciotti et al 2025). In this tertiary /2

However, if we selected fibers that were associated with good clinical improvement (YBOCS symptom alleviation) across the group, the same tract emerged in both cohorts, independently from each other.

this is how i felt filling out the YBOCS for my OCD with my new psych 🥲
