So the myth is that people with OCD are just neatfreaks or germaphobes?
I think I understand why this myth exists,
but it is a myth.
It's because socially we're really new to
understanding mental health issues.
There's still taboos, there's still stigmas
that we are taking too long to break through.
I think probably what a lot of people don't
realise is that a large part of OCD are the
obsessional thoughts and fears that a person
experiences in day to day life.
Yeah, I myself thought it was just people
who didn't like,
you know, having germs on their hands.
Or touching things or some sort of repetitive
routine.
It's beyond a germaphobe issue or beyond a
cleanliness issue.
And that's pretty much the majority of ignorance
that people take on board with this condition.
