"Untangling Thoughts: Inside Obsessive Compulsive Disorder"
Stigmas have surrounded mental health for quite some time now. Many people believe that individuals need to suck it up or tough it out. However, what most people do not realize is that mental illnesses are real chemical imbalances that cause daily struggles. Robby is diagnosed with OCD, or obsessive compulsive disorder. Robby has had moments that have left him feeling isolated or like he is, in his own words, a “freak.” This could not be further from the truth. Mental disorders are disabilities that many struggle with every single day. This documentary will work to share Robby’s story and how it is not something that you can just get over. You have to work with what you are given and find ways to get through daily tasks. Just because mental disabilities are not visible like physical disabilities does not mean that they are not real. We want to include how there is hope for individuals battling mental illnesses and that they do not have to define your abilities. There are support outlets, resources, and tools that work to combat hindrances. It is time to work towards ending the stigma.
