 Dr. Helen Blair Simpson is a Professor of Psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center and Director of the  Center for Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders. Dr. Simpson is also the Director of the  Anxiety Disorders Clinic at the New York State Psychiatric Institute.  Her research program focuses on how to improve treatments for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder so that they can live productive lives. Dr. Simpson’s research is interdisciplinary and includes treatment development studies, clinical trials examining the effects of medication and cognitive-behavioral therapy, brain imaging studies exploring the brain mechanisms of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and animal studies in collaboration with basic scientists. Her work has been funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, and private foundations like the Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation and the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation. Dr. Simpson was a member of the workgroup that developed the first  Practice Guidelines for the Treatment of Patients with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder for the American Psychiatric Association. She is an advisor to the World Health Organization for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and related disorders.  Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders (OCD) are persistent intrusive obsessive thoughts accompanied by repetitive behaviors and involves persistent and intrusive thoughts about any number of topics accompanied by repetitive behaviors often performed to alleviate anxiety. A person suffering with OCD can have recurrent unwanted thoughts that are very difficult to ignore or at times feel compelled to perform a compulsion (repeated behaviors like checking, washing, and ordering) which are experienced as distressing and affect functioning. These behaviors are time consuming and interfere with daily functioning. Some people suffering with obsessive-compulsive disorders have a suspicion that their obsessions are untrue, and others believe their obsessions have a chance of being true. However, even if they believe their obsessions may be untrue, someone with obsessive compulsive disorder still finds it difficult to stop their obsessions and compulsions.
