The OCD Project is an American reality television series that debuted on May 27, 2010.[1] The series follows Dr. David Tolin and his exposure-based treatment of six patients living together in a Southern California mansion.[2][3] The treatment, called exposure and response prevention, can seem unorthodox, but is the leading evidence-based treatment for OCD.[4][5]
