The latest post on ‘Mashable’ is titled “OCD Therapist Creates an App for Reducing Anxiety”.

Sarah Kessler says, “A therapist who specializes in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has created an unusual ally for treating patients: an app.

The therapist, Dr. Kristen Mulcahy, often uses a method called Exposure Response Therapy, in which patients practice resisting their compulsions for increasing intervals of time. Someone who is obsessed with contamination, for instance, might be assigned to practice touching a doorknob and then waiting five minutes before washing their hands”.
