The more we talk about what it really is like, the more everyone can learn.
The public sees people with OCD as being like Monk (old USA TV show). I am far from Monk-like.yet I have OCD too
I have heard of the TV show Monk. To me, I feel like the public sees OCD like a character from the TV show Glee, which just ended this year I think. One of the teachers named Emma Pillsbury in Glee had OCD in the fear of germs and that they have to wash their hands with hand sanitizer a certain number of times and stuff like that.

I like to look up to Howie Mandel, who has ADHD and OCD. His is the germ-type too, but he has still been able to live a successful life.
