Healio (6/7, Downey) reports, “Family member involvement or previous diagnoses of depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder [OCD] is most likely how extremists and conspiracy theorists end up in psychiatric care, Jack S. Rozel, MD, said” in an interview conducted at the American Psychiatric Association 2022 Annual Meeting. Dr. Rozel said, “Someone isn’t going to walk in and want to talk about their racist beliefs or antisemitic ideology.” Rather, “more likely than not, they’re already coming in for depression or OCD and, incidentally, you will see their extremist belief systems,” Dr. Rozel added.
