This week i welcomed Richard Gilmour to the show who suffers with OCD and does some brilliant work to raise awareness about OCD with his blogs and social media posts. His OCD started when he was 16 when he started obsessing over whether he had testicular cancer after a talk about it in school. Richard tells us how this was the start of his obsessions and how he started to develop many other different ones as he grew older. Contamination OCD is prevailant in Richard's life and a fear of catching HIV is still present in his life. Richard has a great understanding of OCD and tries to use mindfulness to get a better understanding of his thoughts. We also discussed the stigma of OCD and how people perceive it.
