4 days and they reckon that fixes OCD? Sounds like a money-making scheme tbh.

yeah nah it's legit. Bergen protocol has solid evidence. do some research maybe

Sky Murphy2026-06-14T19:49:32.000Z

as someone who's struggled with OCD for years, this gives me actual hope. about time we got real treatment options

Good on her for doing it but let's see if it lasts more than a few months. These flashy treatments come and go.

big pharma doesn't want you to know that OCD can be cured with raw milk and sunlight look it up

Sky Murphy2026-06-14T20:41:32.000Z

raw milk lmao get outta here with that

Bergen 4-Day Treatment has actually been around for years with good results. My psych mentioned it. Keen to see it funded

Eva Anderson2026-06-14T21:03:32.000Z

meanwhile I've been on a waiting list for therapy for 8 months. cool cool cool

Peyton Hall2026-06-14T21:24:32.000Z

So happy for Niamh! Must be life-changing for her. Hope this becomes available for more people.

Riley Scott2026-06-14T22:09:32.000Z

exactly. 8 months for me too. system's a joke

Mia Carter2026-06-14T21:53:32.000Z

4 days of intense therapy probably costs less than years of medication. make it make sense government

Rowan Blake2026-06-14T22:24:32.000Z

facts. early intervention saves money in the long run but nah let's just keep funding more roads
