Then there are people like Howie Mandel who is trying to raise awareness about OCD. Kudos to him for being willing to be open about his own struggles to educate people.

Same here. Though I feel like there are more celebs do it b/c it is trendy and for the attention and far fewer who come out with mental health struggles & try to educate people and raise money towards the cause. But I feel a lot of celebs do it for the attention and because it is the "it" thing to do.
I don't know, maybe I'm just cynical.
