I was looking for some "real people" and not dramatizations of mental illness and ran across this about comedian/host Howie Mandel and his battle with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
As an aside, in class, I avoid dramatizations and prefer to use documentaries. To me, that creates a more realistic and accurate picture of the complexities of the disorders rather than one actor's interpretation.
