I taped Chicago Med Tuesday night, and I\u2019m watching it now. They are treating a man with OCD who has intrusive thoughts, which I can relate to. They are treating him with EXPOSURE THERAPY<\/strong>, which I know a lot about because that was a big part in my treatment at Mcleans OCDII,<\/p>\n

I love seeing how openly the actors and actresses talk about Mental Illness, and also how many shows bring in Mental Illness into the story line.<\/p>\n

I thank God how good I\u2019ve been feeling lately. Every day that I\u2019m not fighting with OCD is a great day! I\u2019ll take it for now, and try to fight it when it comes back.<\/p>\n

OCD can be treated with Meds, Exposure Therapy, attending meetings to talk to people who also have this issue.<\/p>\n

WE NEED TO BREAK THE STIGMA<\/p>\n
