What this person without OCD wants you to know (Ep137)

In episode 137 of The OCD Stories podcast I interviewed my friend Eliot who attended and supported The OCD Camp. At the camp he got to spend 48hrs with many people with OCD. As he’s someone who doesn’t have OCD I wanted to get him on to find out his take on OCD, and people with OCD after getting to know many people with OCD. We also discuss his own mental health, how people can break down stigma, and his words of hope. Hope it helps.
