When Howie said "I was so effing busy" with the mental labor of OCD, wow can I relate to that. I grew up differently because of how much time I spent in my mind, battling the constant intrusive thoughts.
Thank you Dr. Mcgrath, and thank you Howie Mandel. PLEASE continue to inform and educate the world on OCD. Your voices are heard louder than most and will get the attention needed for this. God bless.
An amazing interview. I get it. It's exhausting. Thank you both for making fellow sufferers like me. ( I have Emetaphobia and health anxiety, due to chronic medical conditions). For myself and others watching this, we're not crazy or weird, we're worriers with bells on. Thank you, thank you. 😊
Great stuff, i am finally learning how to accept my life with OCD, i am 34 and i was diagnose about 5 months ago. The news of becoming a dad triggered my OCD....
Thank you for sharing! NOCD has been amazing for me. Let’s continue to fight the stigma. Thank you for sharing so openly. There truly is hope if you’re willing to put in the work!
It's (unfortunately) common for people to go years without getting a proper diagnosis! It's important to spread awareness of what OCD truly is - hoping our podcast will help with that!
Thank you Howie. I started with early early, but small irritants and not thinking much about it at age 9. My OCD grew and became a daily occurrence (all day long) at age 35. I thought until I was the age of 55 that I was the only one and did not know of OCD. It gave me hope and was amazed that they are others with this, however the feeling and all that goes with OCD is still with me today at 65.,I spoke with NOCD for several months st twice a week. Help so very much, I stopped only because my therapist needed to take time away from her position there. It’s been 12 months since my last visit and now going back to NOCD very soon. Those with OCD, Please give NOCD a call and Award as it may be at first talking of your thoughts and behavior can decrease if not almost dissolve, and most importantly, NOCD will deliver. Hope it helps!
I’ve had ocd my entire life early childhood I even remember having it I’ve had two bad episodes in my life, got on medication which helps the worst it ever got was after my miscarriage
I am glad NOCD is helping people in this way. There are also supplements that can help this condition. Empower plus from the company True Hope has transformed my life. That, and knowing Jesus.

Don't feel bad Mr Mandel. I'm a physician and didn't recognize or seek help for my OCD until my mid-40s also.

Hope is so important! Thanks for sharing!
OCD is the phobia of helping oneself. (My definition)
Since 1988, I been suffering from OCD.
Damn didn’t even exist yet
@@sissi9100 It certainly did.
@@stacyn. I meant I didn’t exist yet, sorry for the wording
You are not alone. ❤
@@treatmyocd I can’t seem to stop reposting and reposting on facebook and instagram.
Just wondering what’s the therapy for this?
Thanks Howie 😊
Diagnosed young and still learning a lot.
You’ve got this! You are stronger than your OCD!
I believe some basic knowledge in textbooks regarding mental illness disorders like OCD, Autism, etc. will be helpful.
Autism isn't a mental illness, it's a neurotype
I hope NOCD will also be accessible to ppl in Asia especially here in Ph🙏🙏🙏

Patrick appears heart broken
Listening to Howie Mandel talk about shoelaces was like coming home -it actually made me cry, thinking about my own shoelace experiences.
Right?!
