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 3
I've got loads in common with Chris Westoby. We're both from Yorkshire. We're both musicians. Writers. We've both written books about OCD - though in Chris' case, his has already been published! And, sadly, we both have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
On this far reaching episode, Chris tells me his OCD story and we discuss how OCD has changed us, and how we fight against it taking anything more from us.
