Tell Williams thought he was just a worrier. As a child, he believed things had to feel perfectly "even" or something bad would happen to the people he loved. Later came contamination fears, intrusive thoughts, health anxiety, and rituals that slowly began shaping more of his life than he realized. It wasn't until adulthood — after being diagnosed with ADHD, autism, and eventually OCD — that everything started to click.

In this episode of the Get to Know OCD podcast, Tell shares the OCD signs he missed for years, and how finally getting a proper diagnosis changed how he understood himself. He also opens up about talking about his OCD openly to his millions of followers, and why he thinks it's important for others to better understand the disorder.
