The TV show Monk shows what OCD looks like. But is it correct? Let me show you how I would treat this person.

Do you think they showed what OCD really looks like? What other shows should I do?
It's a bit upsetting that most if the media And even some health professionals misinterpret ocd. Most of the media seems to downplay how stressful and mentally draining can be.
How would you treat someone who can’t get out of bed
I love Monk but I don’t feel it truly captures how disabling it is. An inner dialogue explaining why he’s doing those things or even him just expressing his thoughts to others would have been more believable.
I love the show Monk, he's so funny & I love how you therapized him, great video. I think they showed perfect examples of OCD because some of the things he does I do.
I already know it’s a bad representation of OCD but a few clips Omoi from Naruto could be entertaining.
I LOVE the show Monk. Some people with OCD find it offensive but I have OCD and find the humor therapeutic.
You said my thoughts exactly!
I'm so confused by people who are offended by it, because of course his behavior is exaggerated and dramatic -- it's a TV show! I don't relate to everything about his OCD portrayal, but I don't expect to. If it was too accurate, then the show would be just boring and depressing (not a comedy). 😂😅
I started watching Monk only ~1 year ago, and happened to get diagnosed when I was a few seasons in. I haven't finished it yet, but it is still one of my favorite shows, because even well before my diagnosis, I immediately related to Monk and felt seen in such an acute way that no other media had made me feel. I find it so humourously humbling and (like you said) therapeutic! 😂
I think they kiiiinda got it right. His OCD seems absolutely crippling and severe. They probably would have sold me on him having OCD if they had an inner monologue of his thoughts instead of him just being awkward every other minute.
Very true. I'd love to see what's actually going on in his head. This way we could distinguish OCD vs OCPD.
@@ocdandanxietyplease make a video on correlation between caffeine and OCD. I have observed on myself that my ocd goes haywire when I consume any caffeineted beverage,
Would you say that it‘s common someone has all those obsessions at once? To me it always seemed odd that they basically threw a bunch of ocd themes at this character. I can only speak from my experience, but when I was inpatient, all my fellow patients worked on one, two themes at the most.
Although in the examples you pulled, there are of course a lot of themes missing.
@venomwarfare4854 I've given up caffeine, I have found it to be beneficial to the level of anxiety that I experience with my OCD 😊
@@AlisonBryen you too? I was confused earlier whethe it's true for sure or not. My head aches because of stress when I consume caffeine. All the ERP goes to waste for a few hours.
The stove thing reminded me of a time long ago when I was talking to some friends about double checking things, and the hair straightener came up. I asked them if they had to do things a certain way so that they can remember they unplugged it and everyone said "no" and I said "Oh, I have to unplug it, hold the plug in my hand and say out loud 'the straightener is unplugged, I unplugged it, here is the cord' and then point at the outlet, and usually I peek into the room one more time just to be sure". And everyone was silent and somehow I still had not figured out that I had OCD at that point lol ^^"
It's tough to know if something is OCD or not, if it's been naturally done for years. I'm glad you've gained some insight and hope you're doing well!
This is the best show. You should watch it just for the sheer joy it will bring into your life. Even though it’s often funny, there are plenty of episodes that show the pain and suffering he’s in because of the OCD.
On season 3 right now. I'm enjoying it. Thanks for your support!
A very accurate portrayal of OCD I found in Friends where a group patient says something like "I have to switch the light on and off 7 times or my family will die a painful death." Though, it is played for laughs
I'll have to watch that episode. Thanks for sharing!
I've stopped doing the physical compulsions pretty much but mentally they never really go away.
When i was younger and had undiagnosed ocd i really felt comfort watching this show knowing I wasn't alone or crazy like the adults in my life told me i was. (Doctors, family, friends, teachers) i didnt get diagnosed with ocd until later
Nate! You have got to watch all the Monk episodes! Even out site the ocd aspect, it's just a fabulous show. Also, you could have new content idea for years. I think they mostly seem to get it right with Monk and he makes it so funny.
I'm on season 3 now. It's pretty good. There is one where he starts medication and the next day doesn't care about anything. (I don't think it works like that) 🤣
Yea that was a funny one though. In the pool being completely socially over the top! Lol Seems like he went from OCD to ADD in that one!
I used to love this show. Even though I've never had contamination OCD, I just identified with him so much. Then I learned about autism. I'm pretty sure he is also autistic, whether the writers meant to portray him that way or not. If you watch several episodes of the show, it becomes pretty obvious. Also keep in mind this show was made before there was any kind of real OCD treatment. Even now, it can be extremely difficult to find a therapist who has even heard of ERP, let alone knows how to do it.
That’s what someone with OCD would say .. Not cool
What exactly is that supposed to mean?
I really liked this video! I've never seen Monk, but my husband has seen some of it, and he said that apparently there's an episode later in the series that reveals that Adrian is doing a lot of the compulsions because of something bad that happened. So that sounds possibly like Real OCD? If so, I would love to see a follow-up video where you review that episode specifically and talk about that. Love your channel!
His wife died in mysterious circumstances. As a cop, he spent years trying to solve her death, but the his emotional trauma was severe. Hence, his obsessions are only focused on his wife’s death.
I’ve seen most of the show, but it’s been a little while since the last time I did. I think he had compulsions before her death but it got worse afterwards. I think it’s what led to him being kicked off of being a detective.
Rewatching Monk now. He was always OCD but Trudy dying was so traumatic that it really kicked up a lot of his OCD triggers and compulsions. His brother is also OCD, and agoraphobic.
Thanks for sharing! I remember watching Monk and for the first time feeling like I wasn't the only one with these struggles. I've been battling contamination and 'just right' OCD since I was a kid. Enjoy your videos!
The handshaking part and saying that I love it. Hearing that just nearly killed me. Still working on it.😅
Hey Nathan, thank you for all your help. I am glad to see you smiling and happy. You have helped me very much.
im really grateful for your knowledge man, it really helps me
Thanks so much my friend! I'm so glad you're here and wish you the best!
I watched some Monk on TV when I was a kid! It never really struck me as anything special back then, but I was also dead convinced that I didn't have OCD until a couple of years ago despite dealing with it nearly my entire life.
As for suggestions: It's an anime but I would be interesting in seeing your thoughts on Death the Kid from Soul Eater's OCD portrayal. I don't remember it being particularly good, and it was played off as a gag most of the show, but at the very least I could see it being an interesting, over-the-top, bad example. He is fixated on symmetry, from what I remember.
I love Monk! I have watched every espisode and many episodes multiple times!
Yes, and Monk has OCD, and I could add a few behaviors to it.
I like your videos. Maybe you could give me some advice and encouragement. Today is my birthday, but it doesn't seem like it is, because today I have to finally make a decision as to what used car at a dealership I want to buy. I HAVE to leave that dealership today with another car, because the car I have been driving for 17 years and has 220,000 miles on it is about to fall apart in the street, and I just can't afford to spend any more money having it fixed.
I have terrible OCD, and my biggest fear is that I am going to leave something behind when I leave an area. I over-check tables, chairs, the floor, etc. when I leave a restaurant, not to mention having to make sure of information I have been given, etc.
Today, I am so afraid that I am going to leave something in my old car when I leave my car at the dealership as a trade-in. Even if I check my car five times to make sure everything is out, I'm sure I will still drive away in the "new" car and be forever tormented that something I want is still in the old car.
Any advice ???
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🥳 Congrats on looking at a new car. Most of the time people have to make a commitment to not "check" again and accept that if there is a problem, they will solve it when the time comes. It's practicing ERP in other areas. I often have people sit somewhere, stand up and leave. Risking they left something. Feel the distress and use the right responses. "maybe I did, maybe I didn't." "I sure hope I leave something in my car. That'd be so fun to problem solve that."
Always sunny is the only show ive seen get ocd right. Charlies mom for example. Would love to see a video of that
Monk is definitely undiagnosed ASD too
5:53 saying "I love this feeling" doesn't work for me. It just feels like I'm lying to myself without changing the way i actually feel about the situation
Sometime's it's acting the act to feel the feel. (I just made that up) 🤭
@@ocdandanxiety I think I understand. Kind of a "fake it till you make it" approach?
I’m the same way about acting like I love the feeling. I find the uncertainty/maybe statements more effective. Maybe I am going to feel this way forever. Maybe I am contaminated now, it’s never going to go away, and I’ll contaminate everyone I meet. Maybe I did leave the stove on and my house is going to burn down. After doing it consistently every time the obsessive thought comes up, my brain eventually just gets bored of that line of thinking. I’m still working on some things, but I’m not nearly as consumed by some of the obsessive thoughts that used to take hours of my life.
I haven't seem too much of the show. I remember seeing part of one where he decided to try medication and it completely changed his personality and behavior and not all the changes were positive.
I just watched a video from a couple of years ago about OCD. Man, I am suffering so bad from checking and the noises (not like in my head, but if a pipe is cracking from hot water etc). Feels like I’m going crazy, please help ?
i love your videos!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much! I love your support! 😄
I dont have ocd
You only watched one episode 😂 that’s nothing
