Welcome back to my podcast! <3
I'm so grateful to Zack for coming on to shed a light on OCD. It's been really interesting to learn more about the condition, after struggling with it myself. 3% of the population struggle with OCD, therefore there have been many preconceptions in the media as to what it really looks like. Often going hand in hand with anxiety, OCD is a very difficult condition to have.
Zack does incredible work openly talking about the symptoms and ways you can find help. He has worked with charities and runs an award winning Instagram page, discussing all things mental health.
I believe it's truly important to destigmatise mental health in order to move forward with healing. Realising you have OCD can be a difficult journey and I hope that this could help someone or educate people on breaking down the taboo of mental health conversations.
