How Howie Mandel's OCD Started 

Amen lol

Ive had this guy wrong the whole time and i feel like shit now.

No kidding, I totally did not understand his situation.

Hes not alone

It's OCD

Sounds like he was an old Nazi doctor escapee!

nowadays for sure. Back in the 70s, probably not.

And OCD

​​@iamsupernautIt CAN be genetic, but it can also stem from trauma. Look it up

we used to poke fun at his ocd but didnt care to understand why he had it. now that i know its eye opening and it makes sense and i can see myself having ocd too after that fucked up experience.

I have OCD as well......there is always a triggering incident like Howie's in this interview. Sadly once that happens it's all over for us.....nothing has worked to rid me of this hell

@@MetalForLife1970 I hear you BUT, there are modalities that help mitigate OCD. That’s all we can ask for and if we get even better than that, surprise! What’s honestly helping me is something very few therapists have jumped into and that is non-duality practice. These are people coming from Indian spiritual practice, and without dogma! That’s important for me bc I have religious OCD. But whatever it is, we essentially are giving way way too much attention to thoughts which are actually not even ours. We think they are bc we’re conditioned from birth to have a name and be someone special. That’s all based on illusion. You can check out well known people like Eckhart Tolle who essentially repeats in his own way the teaching from yogic paths like Hinduism and Buddhism and/or you can look for many othered that have already passed like Nisargadatta Maharaj and Ramana Maharishi. You are not your identity which the thoughts and feelings are tied up with!! Study! ❤️

Why you making fun of him in the first place?

I mean...to be fair his parents didnt do anything wrong. They took him to the doctor.

Yea.. and as soon as they realized something was wrong with what the doctors were doing, she pulled her son out of there and took him home?

how? by taking him to the dermatologist ??

You can't be a little bit OCD. You either have it or you don't

maybe youre onto something, maybe howie has accidentally given away a hint that he is a vampire that grew up in a medieval farm where worms grew in his body

It's barbaric but it shows how much has changed since he was a child. He's 66 so this happened around 1960. Whole different world then, especially in the field of medicine. Imagine what the 1800s were like 😳😳

history hasnt really been great with people so as much as we have problems today were living way better than those days of experimenting with kids or just a little over 100 years ago slavery. injuries were more fatal, there was no anesthesia for surgeries. its harrowing. shits fucked still, suicide, fear of nuclear war, climate change, but even with those things the world seems a million times better than how it used to be.

He has OCD

weed

This is like the beginning to the movie 🍿 the fly 😮

OCD isn't rational, it's a disorder. It's funny to me how many people expect a mental disorder to follow rationality. Like...seriously?

He already had it, but the experience directed the type of OCD (contamination). Basically, we have great fears and anxieties that manifest as intrusive thoughts, which can cloud in our mind all day, everyday (obsessions). To try and alleviate this, we perform specific actions, either physically or mentally (compulsions). There is no particular obsession and compulsion that everyone with OCD has automatically (germs don't bother me for example). They are molded by adverse experiences in our lives, in brains that are susceptible to "becoming stuck" on those fears. And I know that many people wouldn't make a connection between sandflies and germs. But traumatized brains often connect anything which appears to resemble the trigger, even if it really doesn't.

@@anderlexcellente403 I was being sarcastic ha but what you wrote was a really good read! Thank you!

You’re a fool.

Worx for me.

Most people would be cool with that.

Count me in

Maggots don’t live a year, definitely a lie

Same. It's at the least completely exaggerated.
