The OCD Chronicles
OCD is a terrible, debilitating disorder. It’s also routinely misunderstood. The OCD Chronicles is a podcast about the people who’ve fought this horrible illness, and, despite their struggles, thrived. They’re stories that are inspiring, affirmative, uplifting, emotional and useful. They exist as a record of achievement. To educate. Perhaps even entertain. They’re stories about the lives that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder tried to extinguish.Your host is journalist James McMahon. His own journey with OCD is long and arduous - and it's far from over. Join him on a voyage of discovery as he attempts to make sense of what is wrong with his brain. Maybe even to find the peace that's alluded him for most of his life. It promises to be emotional.

Episode 2
Ash Curry is one of the UK OCD communities fiercest - but also kindest - advocates. He speaks truth, and he speaks it loud, mainly because his suffering with OCD has been as wretched as one imagines it's possible to be. But also because his recovery is remarkable. He's been there. He's seen it. He lives to tell the tale.
It was both a pleasure, and extremely illuminating, to speak to Ash for this episode. As ever, if you enjoy this episode, please do Rate, Review and Subscribe. It's a huge help!
