@iamsupernaut 4 місяці тому
PTSD and OCD. OCD is genetic so he was born with it, combined with the horrible experience as a child is what caused his phobia.

'Honestly, it is traumatic just listening to it' That story made me do a lot of internal reversals over some things that I mainly discounted as ignorance, or something similar on what people use as some excuse for behaviour. Turns out it, in some cases, just highlights how ignorant .. I am

we used to poke fun at his ocd but didnt care to understand why he had it. now that i know its eye opening and it makes sense and i can see myself having ocd too after that fucked up experience.

Psyched I caught this clip...... Plan to watch the entire episode now....... I never knew why Mandel was a germaphobe until viewing this. Previously did not have any compassion for OCD much.... Super sorry you went through that trauma as a kid bro...... I’m getting older , wiser , and more importantly much softer and compassionate..... Soft is not weak.... Thank you for sharing Maher

@BLAB-it5un 6 місяців тому
Hadn't heard Howie describe the cause of all this before but the idea that early life trauma is the defining cause or a major contributing factor to OCD and perhaps many if not all mental health challenges later makes perfect sense yet is not well known or studied. And other causes likely also exist. But the fact that Howie's extreme OCD isn't some random curse is important. But then his daughter also deals with something similar but I think she too has identified trauma as a contributing cause. PTSD is a poor term and not well understood either but anything that can move the needle towards a focus on causes - life events and traumas specifically - rather than randomness, genetics, chemical imbalances and the like is welcome.

@justylex 23 дні тому
Horrible, and a traumatic event like that can certainly trigger OCD. Both of my kids have OCD, and there was a stressor that triggered it for both. That being said, the genetic predisposition for it would still be there and if that event had not happened, something else likely would have triggered later on. Howie’s daughter also has OCD. Both of my kids have it, and so does my niece.

It's barbaric but it shows how much has changed since he was a child. He's 66 so this happened around 1960. Whole different world then, especially in the field of medicine. Imagine what the 1800s were like 😳😳
@oui2611 Рік тому
history hasnt really been great with people so as much as we have problems today were living way better than those days of experimenting with kids or just a little over 100 years ago slavery. injuries were more fatal, there was no anesthesia for surgeries. its harrowing. shits fucked still, suicide, fear of nuclear war, climate change, but even with those things the world seems a million times better than how it used to be.

@hollywooda111 Рік тому
I cant see anything in that story that would cause OCD?...
@anderlexcellente403 Рік тому
He already had it, but the experience directed the type of OCD (contamination). Basically, we have great fears and anxieties that manifest as intrusive thoughts, which can cloud in our mind all day, everyday (obsessions). To try and alleviate this, we perform specific actions, either physically or mentally (compulsions). There is no particular obsession and compulsion that everyone with OCD has automatically (germs don't bother me for example). They are molded by adverse experiences in our lives, in brains that are susceptible to "becoming stuck" on those fears. And I know that many people wouldn't make a connection between sandflies and germs. But traumatized brains often connect anything which appears to resemble the trigger, even if it really doesn't.
