    Thank you for spreading the word. So invaluable

    Thank you, Howie, for sharing. That gut punch when I hear someone flippantly label themselves ‘a little OCD’ in front of a loved one who would probably prefer walking on hot coals to publicly discussing actual OCD. You were the first person that I mentioned to said loved one as an example of success. It didn’t sink in until they saw you on a favorite YouTube channel and then I was told who you were. Any way in…

    And Dr McGrath the WKRP reference -... more

  • NOCD has been incredibly helpful!

    They are a God send. Because of their work online I got diagnosed and got the help I needed. I hope they continue the good work they are doing in bringing awareness to this issue and helping people get the treatment they need.

  • Don’t Over normalize it.

    Since being diagnosed I have been recovering more than ever. NOCD has been part of that. I’m glad that we have this podcast. That being said I feel like it’s something that everyone could claim to have. If everyone has something, then it’s not a disorder. Also, why do I have to turn off vpn to play these shows? Keep up the good work.
