At 18, Amanda is the youngest guest we’ve had on Mental Illness and Me. She is finishing her senior year of high school and bravely shares her struggle with harm OCD, a form of OCD that causes intrusive, irrational thoughts about hurting oneself or others.

Mental Illness and Amanda: Harm OCD

I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Panic Disorder. When I started publicly sharing my experiences, I learned that it helped people identify their own struggles and gave them courage to seek help. My goal with this series is to give people hope through the stories of others and help them realize they are not alone. You are not weird or broken, and your mental illness does not have to define you. Let’s eliminate the stigma surrounding the mental health conversation by sharing our experiences and learning ways to heal.
