Peak Performance and OCD - Is There a Connection?

A psychiatrist who'd followed my initial work was a really prominent well-known psychiatrist. He had co-authored the, the DSM for the DSM five. And he just said that a huge part of peak performance is playing through the pain. That obviously really resonated with me because I'm retelling that story here. It's given me so much more compassion for other people that are struggling and helped me to understand that excellence isn't about feeling good and doing good.
