Description

Australian actor and writer Rick Davies joins us to talk candidly about living with OCD and his more recent diagnosis of ADHD. We chat about:


  • How acting became a safe haven from the exhaustion of OCD

  • The trepidation of talking so openly about mental illness as someone with a public profile

  • How cathartic it is to hear other people talk about their ocd experiences

  • The co morbidity of OCD and ADHD

  • Feeling like a fraud when the ocd flares up

  • How privilege plays into recovery
