watching these kids fight these inner demons so willingly is truly inspiring, they're so strong and brave
im 21, ive had ocd since i was about 14 & its around the same severity as the group. im actually going camping with my best friends this weekend, and i am sick of saying no to opportunities because of this terrible disorder. im feeling nervous but these guys are my inspiration and im gonna try my best to be brave like them and face my ocd :)
I hope your camping trip was fun!
@@skye2192 thanks so much it was!!! :))
Hope it went well and well done for pushing yourself outside your comfort zone 👍🏻
How did it go?
Poor Andrew - his voice is completely normal!!! We are our own worst critics, aren't we?
We sure are! I actually think he has a very beautiful and sweet voice. He's a great guy!
Truly are our own worse enemies in a sense
the problem is this; with OCD and other things, its a perception disorder. voice/body things, thats dysmorphia. the assumed perception between what the person sees and what is actuality is skewed, literally.
for me, its not dissimilar from seeing myself in a funhouse mirror constantly. its...difficult to say the least
Plllllll LL
OCD does suck, I know from my own experiences. Andrew seems like a really smart dude. Hope he’s feeling better
That man is such a beautiful person. Love, compassion and patience is a gift that he’s able to display. I hate it when people say ‘oh straighten that cup, my OCD’ babe that’s not OCD. It’s nothing like it. Good luck guys.
What man?
there are people with sub-clinical ocd. my father gets very, very stressed out when there’s any mess around. it ruins his mood, it’s upsetting and triggering. it’s not normal. he’s not actually OCD, but it’s still a struggle and it’s still valid
I Am 22 Year Old Boy From India. As Pure OCD Sufferer And Suicide Attempt Survivor, It's Good To Know That There Are Shows Like This For Us OCD Patients Too.....
I love how Andrew had no confidence but he encouraged the others to climb up the ladder.
I still watch this to calm me down when I feel overwhelmed, these people won’t know how much they helped me over the last 6 years
Bravo to all of you who have the courage to confront OCD! This program is a lifesaver! It should exists everywhere!
This is an amazing idea to help people. What a wonderful program!
Ocd person...try this technique...do this closed eyes mindfull breathing for 20 mins for 4 hrs once...it gonna show normal world...100% works
Anyone else clapping these kids when they make small achievements? Hope they all recover and enjoy life 😁
God I’m in tears for these kids!
I have the exact same type of ocd as Olivia (contamination ocd combined with a fear of smells), and I always thought I was the only one with this kind of fear. I feel so seen for the first time in my life. I really hope she is doing well nowadays!
I asked my dr about germs being carried by smells and she said the odor molecules are too small to carry a germ to you. I hope this is helpful. It helped me.
Ocd really sucks. I’ve had it too long now and I’m tired. Thankful to see I’m not alone but also upsetting to know so much ppl also suffer. I would love to attend a camp I would love to get better. Happy for all these individuals. Would be nice if we can all get better soon.
I'm the same as Jack, not nearly as bad, but still bad when it comes to the bathroom stuff, washing hands, taking shower, toilet, brushing teeth, sharing food other people have either touched or ate/drank out of, it all just makes your skin crawl and you can't help it. That said, I feel for him so much with how bad his OCD is.
Yeah same and with the pandemic it's made me even more aware of what I'm touching and want to hand wash more. Like if I touch my coat/bag I've recently worn outside or received a delivery box, touch door handles etc I feel dirty
I get the drinking out the same cup I have that fear but the over day I let someone drink coffee from my cup and I drank from it after it was had and scary but I lived and still with Covid made it more intense, I find I not as had from my kids cup still fill it there but not as bad as a stranger,,
@@Claire8483 I'm same as you. I'm not as bad as Jack. I have put my family through so much difficult situations I hate myself for it. Sometimes I don't even see point of me living.
Its awesome how they support each other
so glad to see this in a good quality! Thanks!
Thank you; The therapy camp and therapists were amazing. As someone who has severe OCD this really helped me understand more. WONDERFUL ⭐️
Man this makes me somewhat anxious even watching. I have OCD and I greatly admire these guys for doing exposure. Every time I don't do my compulsions the anxiety is so overhwleming its unreal. They are so brave for this.
This is beautiful. I love how patient everybody is with each other.
This is fantastic and very emotional episode. Great insight into ocd and the struggles that go along with it. I hope that there can be many more series covering a great range of mental health issues.
It's sad that along with the primary hurdles, all of them face tremendous shame.
I feel so much for this group. They want to change so badly and they’re all so strong. They all seem so kind hearted and deserve to love themselves ❤
Oh gosh when Olivia was talking about taking photos of the toilet, it unfortunately reminded me of me. I am not diagnosed or anything, but I am very scared of germs, especially when it comes to my hair because I have so much less control over it. I got scared that my hair touched a mysterious stain, so I would revisit that place I thought my hair touched and redo me walking past it to see if it was possible my hair touched it. If I’m not sure, I might wash my hair where I think it might’ve touched it and I even took a picture of the stain to send to my friend, asking her what she thought it was. I’ve done this not only with my hair, but other parts of my body before and now I try to avoid touching the parts of my body I thought touched something contaminated even though I know I probably didn’t :/
This was very educational thanks xx
This was a very good episode
*THAT THING AT THE BEGINNING MAY AS WELL HAVE BEEN A UA-cam AD, IT WAS CERTAINLY A COMMERCIAL! (and half the time, UA-cam ads come in the form of commercials.)*
I first watched this documentary in my high school senior psych class, now 8 years later I still like rewatching it. I have OCD, thankfully not nearly as severe as these cases, but it’s still bothered me badly since I was about 9. I experience intrusive thoughts, but mostly I have what’s called OCD chronic tic disorder. The tics vary and change all the time, when people notice it’s horribly embarrassing and they sometimes cause physical injuries. I’ve never met another person in almost 20 years that also has OCD chronic tic disorder, and I have always felt extremely vulnerable and alone with these demons. I’d love an opportunity like this to meet other people like me; 20-something’s with OCD chronic tic disorder who understand what it’s like to be like this. Hopefully someday.
My brother has this! Him and I both have OCD, but he has OCD tics. He repeats phrases, throat sounds, coughs, etc. all the time. He is 23, soon to be 24. I hope this brings you some solace. Even though it may truly feel like it, you're never alone in this. I hope you find some peace in your days, wishing you the best 😊
Just saw a trailer of this on facebook then decided to watch the whole series here. BTW, i suffer also from OCD. Need to do some things/stuff 4 times, thinking that if i didn’t do it, something bad will happen.

Have you made any progress since this comment mate?
Felt Andrew's pain 💛🙏
I have symmetry OCD and I cackled when he was in the grocery store, touching jars, turning them an equal number of times with each hand... I do it constantly!!!
I have aspbergers too and s very mild case of the symmetry type. I've had it all my life but rather than needing everything to be equally left and right, i have my own symmetries that i follow. I can stop myself but if i dont stop myself i do it automatically, and not doing some of them bring me very very very much discomfort. I have some tics too and they are quite liquid, changing slightly over time, as well as getting more frequent when im stressed or sleeping bad. Felt really nice to watch this and remember that i can do things to make it better if it gets too bad. Hope these people the best :)
Wishing you well 💕
Are you able to manage your professional work with it?
Studies have shown that people with OCD are likely to have abnormal hormone levels and that hormones may play a role in triggering or worsening OCD. OCD symptoms in women tend to worsen during premenstrual periods, pregnancy and postpartum.🙌
I read that also; the brain's pathways are dominated by our hormones, that is a new relevation with obesity. You've heard the expression, once the switch is flipped on...well, that's rather a true statement. Very insightful of you, Daily.
Interesting! As I enter my 50s I wonder if my OCD will become more intense through menopause.
I definitely have ocd tendencies. Not diagnosed with it, but I have rituals. I do have adhd and I suspect I’m on the spectrum too. My ocd gets worse every year. Thank goodness it isn’t as bad as these brave people.
A luxury not all sufferers can afford.
The hot tub blew me away - it’s like a breeding place for germs and they got in without hesitation!
OCD often isn’t logical 🤷♀️
I think Jack was drunk, he was even naked in the hot tub. And also each ones OCD looks different in certain ways. I'll use this example to explain it...It's like me and my brother...we are not far apart in age, we grew up together, we did everything together, we have the same mom and dad (biologically), we have similar interests but also very different in many ways, he drinks alcohol, I don't, he is social and I'm not, he loves tech I don't, he likes watching series I hate series. But we have also a lot of the same interests.
Really hope jack and Olivia are doing okay with COVID 🥺😭
theyre probably vaccinated already
@Prof Prostate dont think thats allowed tbh
She’s doing amazing!
Who told you that they got covid?
I don't have a fear of germs, but I have a fear of chemicals, lead, cadmium, everything harmful and permanently damaging. It came back recently but I'm looking for help. I hope I can learn from this documentary to.
I remember watching this when my ocd wasnt triggered yet, now i have ocd. Phew! Its tough
I feel so bad for these guys
I relate to jack so much
I don't know if my OCD is exacerbated by this or if I am more in tune with it while I watch. It is nonstop. You kinda get used to it, you know? And not even notice.
I came here after reading about this show in Mark Manson's book Subtle art of not giving F**k.
Same here
same
Me too! Great book right?
i wonder how they face the pandemic...i realy hope everyone is better and better and strong i have anxiesty u guys u are not alone
“She was scared of her family dying so we killed them so she would let be scared”
what a tough life
Crazy that I was watching this when he was saying that he sees 13 everywhere. I looked at the clock at it was 13 past!
Late comment. Been diagnosed with OCD and possibly ADHD / ADD. I know what to do to manage my OCD and to cope. The ADD/ADHD does not give me the motivation to combat the OCD...If I had do draw a picture of my daily life, its me sitting in Devil's Chamber, with him staring into my soul. It sounds bizarre, [Intrusive Thought] but I sometimes have thoughts of rather loosing a leg for eg, but instead having a quiet mind... Been doing therapy, am on medication, at this point the medication helps, but I feel I even reached my peak with therapy. Be thankful if you do not have any mental disorders. I hope this does not come of as discouraging in anyway to others struggling with Mental Disorders. The opposite, I try to spread positivity and mental health awareness. Not everyone understands mental struggles. 💚
My OCD trigerred last year good to know there are other who have this problem I pray to God for a Miraculous cure.becoz nothing is impossible with God I'm in my 70ts
It is frustrating that you are helpless.
I have ocd but not as bad as this. Mine no food of any kind can touch like if it touches I can not eat it and I have to have even number of things which makes it difficult to do especially since I had a child who only really needs one of the same toy when I really really need to get two. I also have to make a list of everything I do and or have or even play games, again mine isn't as made as these people except for the food touching that is a huge problem.
I like checking the time non-stop, even at work, going back and forth until coworkers get mad at me.
Where is the episode 2
I think a lot of mental issues are related to a Vitamin D deficiency. More recent studies have been pointing at how much more Vitamin D supports...not just for the bones and not even just the immune system. Apparently, on top of actually being a hormone that greatly affects behavior, ALL our cells have Vitamin D receptors. I think the daily amounts they have been recommending for so many decades is much too low.
I have OCD-addicted to washing machines since I was 3 or 4
My severe Ocd started when i was 27, because of depression.
whens part 2?
ua-cam.com/video/ywMsMjGF_nw/v-deo.html
I am also a 18 years old with OCD
Hi, who is the therapist in this video please?
What is that song about 50:30
I love you Jack
hes mine😊
@@anna-ih1pw mine!
Yall are weird
26:49 "I got to get two" lol OCD joke
I wonder how Jack is handling the Corona virus
It's not a joke... right
i have extreme ocd since i was 9
👏🏻
Hi
I feel bad for ol girl who think something bad will happen to her mom if she don’t touch stuff that’s a heavy burden to have
The number off advertisements in this is ridiculous, makes it almost unbearable to watch
51:33 what did he say?
So this is the BBC documentary Mark Manson was talking about in his book 'The subtle art of not giving a f*ck'
How do I contact this program. Anyone please help me with their contacts.
Go under the videos bio. Their email is there, and u can contact them.
🤗☺️
Its weird for me to watch this as mine was severe a lot better after therapy definitely got worse after this covid pandemic though.
The thought of having another humans germs on me makes my adhd worse too.
How did you cope and recover? I ask because my fear of lead in metal, in clothes and jewelry for example, returned. It's a bit similar because they're the kind of things you have to face often. Like someone with an eating disorder and meal times. I'm happy you got better.
@@deadinside8781 Unfortunately a lot of mine have resurfaced too and suspect yours has gotten worse due to the C epidemic.
If there's a way that you can go for long walks or exercise that would minimize the focus on what you obsess over it sucks but it will get better for you.
Keep busy with hobbies the things you enjoy it'll occupy your mind,wishing you all the best hang in there 🙏
10:40 top tier small talk banter
It's so strange that the only therapy for OCD is self torture.
Jack is handsome young man...
so real
Regretions may help them as there are things that we carry from reencarnation too.
are any of you lot caught up in one piece?
Meaning?
@@chrissylouise3226 As in the anime - unrelated to the video .. just thought i’d ask
Imajen is a cutie
after covid exit...i think i'm started to wash my hand freq
You need to state "Part 1" in your title, so people can search to see if there's a Part 2, before even watching Part 1 so not left hanging wondering how things ended up. Really annoying!
Well, it says S1 Ep1, which stands for season 1 episode 1, implying there‘s gonna be more episodes to come.

Nothing pain and agony can't fix.
Put them in a military bootcamp and their OCD will quickly disappear with the drill sergeant yelling at them
@@thistamndypo The day you have it and it controls your life then you can speak. Otherwise keep your hilarious remedies to yourself
I guess you are not a psychologist.
@@thistamndypo or yanno worsen with some power tripped adult screaming at them on top of it all? food for thought
@@thistamndypo It would literally not help at all, they would just have OCD and a Drill Sargeant yelling at them. There are probably plenty of people in that exact situation.
Question why can't they get the medical treatment that they need? Isn't healthcare free in Britain? Why do they have to come all the way to the US to get treatment that's most likely very very expensive instead of just using the free healthcare offered by their own country? Am I missing something? Will the government not pay for their mental health care or is there a very long wait for appointments or something? Also commenting a second time for the interaction
It sounds to me that the treatment is/was quite experimental/extreme so it may not be sanctioned and/or funded by the NHS for that reason
@@sgttdghhj3612 interesting! I didn't think about that! exposure and response therapy has been proven to be most effective now but when this show first came out in 2013 I think it was pretty radical. Also I looked up what happened to the people after the show and all of them got better and better. : ) The guy who couldn't touch people's hands I forgot his name actually ended up on a game show several years later. When his team got an answer right he high-fived his teammate with no problem, no hesitation I was so proud of him!
@whitney that's amazing to hear! Thankyou for the update, impressive investigating skills! Mental health care is still underfunded in the UK but I think it's slowly getting better as people become more aware of the issues, and so more treatments get tested, sanctioned and become available. It's not perfect but it's free, not sure I could afford to do a treatment like those patients without going on TV or it being available on the NHS.
Our Mental health system is broken. People are dying every day. For CAMS the under 18s mental health service you are looking at 18 month waiting list, minimum.
Adults worse. We are fighting for emergency beds too section people for their safety. It's an epidemic.
With what I’m told about British healthcare, you also only get a certain number of therapy sessions before you have to pay privately or get on the list again. It’s pretty limited.
I always have to touch things 4 times, Or when I check mail have to open and close is 4 times Is that ocd??. If I don't do it something bad will happen I think. Or flush toilet at least 2 times or in even numbers.
Talk to your doctor, a random person on the internet can't tell you if you have ocd or not.
@@Klearith WAS just curious if that's normal
@@KirkLee1983 okay, but still, talk to your doctor. Some people have symptoms of ocd but don't necessarily have ocd.
If by "normal" you mean 'does everyone do that?'....no, they don't. It's unusual and a typical OCD behaviour. You'd need to see a doctor to determine if it's OCD or not. Does it affect your life badly?
@@bethgriesauer3825 yes
How can they have their food touching I cant have my food touching I have OCD too
Funny, made me laugh. Have a good one today.
I can't also but only if I've washed my hands like for 5 minutes, I also have contamination OCD.
How is Jack so sensitive to germs but has tattoos which are very risky infection wise?
ocd like most mental illness isn't logical most of the time! might make sense to us that tattoos are risky but the brain can justify it in weird ways
I was thinking about those tattoos also! Fear of needles and germs for me!
it's all sterilised so he knows it's safe.
Yup… needles come right out the pack.
These people get into a hot tub bare assed but refuse to touch a glass.. there's no logic to OCD, it's just about control and relinquishing it to fate.. which isn't easy, granted.
And symmetry boy did rock paper scissors one handed
It's mad how Jack wasn't phased about getting into a hot tub...
Or riding on public transport.
OCD isn't rational and never will be
OCD is not rational. Obsessions constantly change, adding new ones and getting over old ones.
OCD does not make sense, and we know what we are doing is irrational. But, that doesn’t make the thoughts and compulsions come any less.
For the outsider (especially if you don't have OCD) it doesn't make any sense, but once you have OCD (like I have for 10 years now) it makes all sense. Because we see things and feel things which the outsider doesn't see or feel. So the outsider actually sees less that half of the full picture. So it makes no sense for anyone. It's as good a driver gets into an accident and survives then you only see afterwards the accident, the driver who survived the accident obviously has more info than you who got there 10 min later.
None of these British "teens" are actually a teen. They are all in their twenties
@@user-vr7mm7hm7s British young adults sounds pretty boring too
@@user-vr7mm7hm7s British young adults sounds pretty boring too
Why does that bother you so much? Do you only want to watch programmes on teens? Maybe just focus on how these people lives are being effected so badly - it really doesn't matter how old they are.
Old boy won’t shake hands but will gladly hug all the attractive females
My OCD is very similar to Jack's OCD, I'll shake hands but only if I can wash my hands immediately after that. I can give hugs too but don't touch me with your hands when you hug also don't let your hair or face touch mine.
I ship Jack and Imogen. They would be cute together lol
Title is misleading - only one person is in their teens!!
Only two, The small girl with brown hair is 17 and the girl with blonde hair is 18
Who cares? It's as if you only want to watch it it if they're teens.
It bothers me terribly if dishes in the sink or someone forgets to flush the toilet OMG...
I think it bothers many people
@@Klearith thank u ❤️
@@user-vr7mm7hm7s thank u ❤️
WTF this is a show 😮
Thought she didn't smile.this programme is so false
The answer is Jesus. For God did not give us a Spirit of fear but of power, love and sound mind❤
"deep north american wilderness" your going to a city by canadian standards my dude. We have whole capital city's in the territories with less population then the camp.
@@ME-jy8jk Yah I wrote it at the start of the video before I really knew how helpful this seemed to be for the people and the positive impact that it looks like it had. I'm sure I could say something more meaningful about the program but I would just bee speaking out of my rear end because I have no experience when it comes to dealing with mental issues. I just thought it would be a bit of a funny comment to the shows hyperbole. And yah I'll flex about how sparsely populated Canada is 4 per square kilometre, 9th least populated in the world and proud. Might I ask what country your from?
Imagine if Megan’s parents got in an accident while she was away.
As someone who lives with an anxiety disorder, I do understand the nonsensical " rules" but I do struggle to believe Jack is as poorly as he makes out at the beginning. Will hug, won't handshake, will sleep in a hotel bed but won't borrow a pen, will eat in a restaurant using cutlery provided but won't eat from a plate or use metal cutlery at home.
OCD is different for everyone! I can lay on the floor in a public place as long as none of my skin is touching it, but I cannot touch door handles. The disorder can be very contradictory.
Almosy like mentall illness is well, mental...
That boy has germophobia, but still some how got himself tatoos? Wow, thats something.
Yes a bit strange that one.
Yes i do agree on a level. I had severe OCD too and even to this day I consider myself cured and I would still worry about it lol
Sadly ocd is anything but logical
OCD is a mental illness and isn't rational.
Well his fear of germs isn't looking so crazy now, is it? Also I never understood why people with OCD wash their hands so often why don't they just wear medical gloves?
Yes it is crazy! We had a virus with a rabies component that has mutated and is burning out--very different from this guy hating the world around him.
That might help with some types of OCD but not others. If you’ve ever worn those things for significant time your hands sweat and they stink of rubber (I use them to do my cleaning with!) Also when it comes to touching food they’re still going to have all the same germ exposure as your regular hands, so you’d need to change them every time you eat food that requires touch. There might also be a cost implication as you could end up going through rather a lot.
@@SilenceYouBeast I didn't even think about that! I'm an in-home nurse and they supply us the gloves and I strip gloves off and change every 5 minutes but I didn't even think about the cost of that.
@@c_farther5208 I wouldn't say he hates the world around him. More he's afraid of it. And now everyone is wearing medical masks and washing hands and wearing gloves everytime they're out in public. Everyone is just as afraid as he is. Well like half of the population is. It doesn't even matter at this point whether the virus ever goes away or not. That's not the point. The point is the masks are here to stay just like how in Asia they've been wearing masks for years every time they leave the house. And that's how it's going to be in America. it's just become a part of American culture. Stores won't let you in without a mask even if you can prove you've had the vaccine. Even if there are no mask laws the stores and companies themselves decide. The masks are here to stay whether we like them or not.
Because you touch things with the gloves and then the gloves get dirty. Then you'd have to wash the gloves....
Can't have anything touch him, but tatoo needles penetrating his skin on neck and body was ok 🤔
To be fair, tattoo stations are very well sanitised, he can watch it be sanitised, and they use new ink, ink cups, gloves, goo and needles on each person
@@taylorl.9875 yes true, still interesting how the mind can overcompensate in some areas
OCD isn't rational
