00:00Do you know the words to Jingle Bells?
00:02Great, can you sing it for me?
00:03Jingle, jingle bells, jingle all the way
00:06What fun it is to ride
00:08Okay, sorry, that's not it.
00:09It's like this.
00:10Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
00:13Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
00:16Hey, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
00:19Great, now stop for a second.
00:21Can you hear it in your head?
00:22Perfect.
00:23Can you sing it again?
00:24Go ahead, sing it.
00:25Jingle, jingle bells, jingle all the way

00:31It's Stuck Song Syndrome, an auditory form of OCD.
00:34These girls have OCD?
00:36Not necessarily.
00:36I mean, you should talk to their parents.
00:38Basically, the song is just stuck like an earworm in their head.
00:42What is the cure?
00:43Well, the simplest treatment is distraction.
00:45I gave them gum.
00:45Gum? Why gum?
00:46Well, sometimes the distraction of gum chewing
00:48can keep the mind from obsessing on the song.
00:49And if it fails?
00:50There's ERP, Exposure and Response Prevention.
00:52It's about changing the response when the song pops in their head,
00:54but that is beyond what I can offer.
00:56Kristen, was it?
00:57It was.
00:59It's good to have you involved in this.
01:00Okay, there's a possession we need to decide.
