Why this guy is a judge on America's got talent is beyond me, he has no talent and does not even know what real talent is. He is beyond a doubt the worst judge ever.
I wash shocked when i found out howie mandel had OCD, But it made me feel better about myself. I have OCD and am an extreme germaphobe but knowing that howie was able to do a career and function makes me feel a bit better about myself.
Howie. You can be free of OCD symptoms and rituals in as few as two to three months. I'm not sure why it's taking so long, but mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy can help. Visit my website, follow on Twitter @CombatCounselor, or check out my YouTube Channel: CombatCounselor. You suffered long enough. BE FREE OF OCD! "StayPresent" and "StayTheCourse". CombatCounselor
@TheJennyjenjen90 This was actually discussed within the book; he said that he's okay with contact with his family and all, but they have a really, really clean household.
@Ghostadventuresfan08 Sorry, just meant that many don't ask about the mental feeling of anxiety, they only ask about anxious feelings that are often only felt in the body.
Funny and at the same time painful, Howie provides an interesting insight into anxiety and ADHD - and where it can take some people. He has mastered the problem, he's riding the horse,- but so many find themselves alone and untreated as ADHD with the frequently associated thinking-anxiety is misidentified as only emotional anxiety and the ADHD side of it is completely missed.
Dear anyone who reads this, I am not only bipolar and have OCD, but a host of other Mental Halth issues. These are very serious things that we as hosts of the dissorders try to make light of yet suffer deeply because of. No my problems are not as bad as Howies but they manefest in horrible stretches of depression and I have been forced to live in a van to avoid many things you may take for granted. Read, Listen, Learn, Understand...please. Sometimes we just cant be helped.
Oh Trust me, I KNOW. I don't wish it on anyone, it's hell.
It's just hard to think that such a funny guy can have that many problems. I knew about his germ phobia, just didn't know about all the other problems he has.
I read the book, and it wasn't exactly what I expected. I just automatically expect it to be hillarious, and in many ways it is, but it was also heartbreaking. It's sad to know what he goes through. He can make the whole world laugh and yet he hides so much behind a curtain of his real life.
I wish you all the best Howie, you're a great comedian and I don't think I could ever have enough of Howie :)
@TheSFGIANTSFAN if you try to hug him he will get so angry and he will have to go take a shower. did you know he makes his wife wash his money in the washing machine and then he gets it back in nice folded piles?! lol

If you observe closely, most white people who have OCD, are quite flexible about getting coodies from a young clean looking white person. But they literally throw up at the thought of catching a brownskinned person's coodies, which makes you wonder, if this is a disease, or a racist, xenophobic fear of nonwhite immigrants. I have had five friends with OCD: from different places, all white, middleclass, women young and old, and very biased towards other races. When racism is excused as OCD.
i dont think that behaviour is the same as clinical OCD. a lot of ppl throw around the term "OCD" tho and that's true for sure.
but like clinical OCD isnt about germs all the time, or hand washing. those are just stererotypes about the disease that have found their way into popular media and disseminated as the general perspective of the disorder.
@hunnybee84 Thank you for your comment. I understand what you are saying, but I do think that the way in which people think, how they perceive the world and people in it, has a lot to do with psychological problems that they are then clinically diagnosed with. It begins with the mind. I would like someone to research what percent of OCD sufferers are caucasian, black, hispanic, asian, etc. Because some cultures tend to think more in categories and limitations then others.
@Shilpusuresh I think I know what you are talking about. I see where you are coming from. as someone who is predominantly white ...ish (olive skin makes good kin) I am more likely to wash my hands and everything in my apartment after a black person leaves then I am after a white person leaves but then again my brother is the only black person who visits and when it comes to being clean he is the opposite of me. I have also noticed that culturally speaking black people don't seem to be as clean.
@Shilpusuresh I am not saying black people are not clean but they do seem to be more earthly. from what you noticed it is more likely (and I am making an educated guess here and nothing more) that a white person with OCD noticed something that red flagged in the white persons mind as "unclean" and triggered a response. also different cultures have different ideas on what is or isn't clean.
@karn33333 "earthly," "culturally speaking" WTF? But you're not a racist, cause you have a black brother! PUHHLEESE! No one has heard that before! OCD is one fucked up racist, xenophobic, narcissistic fad. NO! You wanna be a racist, join the KKK, atleast they will teach you to be honest about your racism, instead of euphemizing and pcfying your racist, prejudiced, classist, pseudo intellectual BS! Fish rot stinks, no matter how you wrap it. Your OCD isn't gonna save the planet!
@Shilpusuresh me having a brother who is black has nothing to do with the fact that I am not racist because race has nothing to do with it. its about culture. not liking certain things about a certain cultures doesn't make you racist. no it isn't now your just making shit up. it isn't a fad at all you dumb shit. having OCD isn't about saving the planet you dumb ass.
@Shil first of all in what way did I not read? if anything you are the one who failed to read my comment properly. illiteracy and ignorance has nothing to do with racism, and its no indicator of anything other than someone is illiterate and ignorant. your claim that ocd is narcissistic is completely groundless, as well as your claim that ocd has anything to do with xenophobia. if anyone is ignorant here that would be the person who is dumb enough to think the KKK is open and honest about racism.
@Shil every comment you have made about people with OCD is completely wrong. if anything the one who is showing obvious prejudice would be you. for your information lots of people with OCD have many many hookups about sex. oh and please explain what this comment had to do with anything "Your OCD isn't gonna save the planet! " seriously what the fuck does that even mean?
@Shilpusuresh yeah I am clueless as to how someone can be as fucking retarded as you. look just because someone washed their hands vigorously after you shoved your entire arm up your ass doesn't mean they are narcissistic, xenophobic, or racist. LEARN TO WASH YOUR DAMN HANDS. not everyone wants a chocolate covered pretzel.
seriously this is the best response you have? way to not be able to back up a single fucking thing.
that's definitely true and i was never disputing that. i mean look at the cultures in which eating disorders are most prevalent.... the social element of a person's upbringing is just as important to consider as the biological and psychological. so we agree.
the latter part of my comment was a tangeant. i just felt the need to stress that OCD isnt only manifested by frantic hand washing. the rituals vary, and it annoys me that they're so generalized.
@hunnybee84 I can understand your frustration with OCD being generalized, but the behavior is irrelevant. Its grandiose narcissism, and that would be the one generalization I would make about it. Mostly, the have nots, learn to be happy without. They learn to let go, and be tolerant, and touch, and experience the world around them. When people have, they can fuss more, and become obsessed about things.
Actually, I think on the surface, it's logical to assume the behaviours are irrelevant when considering what drives them. And that was why I said my latter part of my last comment was a tangent. But if you examine more closely, oftentimes (and the literature confirms this) the compulsive behaviours of a person with OCD directly reflect the innermost "abscesses" of a person overcome with obsessive thoughts.
@hunnybee84 It makes sense that thoughts reflect in the behavior.But the behavior may try to fit what the society around them allows. Isn' t it fascinating how many are being diagnosed with this lack of control. It almost seems like under the guise of "raising awareness," they seem to be recruiting members. Most OCD's will look for possible signs, to inform others they have it too. Its like they are not happy, until everyone in the world comes down with it. Its like evangelical religion.
Howie Mandel is the man! I have issues with OCD and ADHD, Anxiety Issues, and from time to time, depression. Not too bad with the depression but every once in a while I get depressed for no reason. Probably bipolar disorder. So, I'm glad to know that Howie has these same issues cause I kind of look up to him and realize that I can make it in this world too.
Howie was here last year shooting an episode of Howie Do It. And a woman from the audience asks to rub his bald head. Howie (seemingly happily) goes for it. When the commercial break comes, Howie is off to the side of the set yelling at his assistant to get him a F'ing towel to wipe his head off so he can wash off the germs that lady put on his head. Howie is a damn weirdo and an asshole in real life and not a nice guy at all like he pretends to be on tv
@HaraldTheTalker His OCD does not make him an asshole it is an actual mental disorder he can't help it. He can't have germs on him even if it is just that he feels like he has the germs on him. Go do some research you asshole.
@itscuppycakeBITCH I had OCD and quite badly too, but never treated people like that. I wouldnt treat a dog like I saw Howie treat his assistant. I had OCD THrough several years of 'facing your fear' treatment, I finially overcame my OCD. OCD has nothing to do with if you are mean to people. Its an obsession and the compulsion to cleans yourself of it. Today my OCD is eliminated to a point where all I do is wash my hands once when I get home like any normal guy does.
I too have (quite severe) OCD. I am very lucky to not be germophobic. Howie's book bolstered me in my fight against it for one day and that alone made it worth reading.
I admire Howie greatly for sharing his struggles with a brutal honesty. This is where that verse "The truth shall set you free" applies as I'm sure it's been a huge relief for him to let people know who he really is, even if some still laugh. Thank you Howie for your transparency.
I would like to read this. Howie is so cool. I don't think many people realize how difficult it is for him to appear so often in public, with his condition. In junior high, I started having problems like his, and it made me VERY shy.
no, I have a comprehension problem and I don't believe it is on audio, which is what I need. Um, no, I feel sorry for him because i have seen his ODC in action. I was diagnosed with OCD tendencies. I suffer from Apergers syndrome which is also a neurological disorder. it is a mild for of autism. I have problems with people touching me too.
I just checked Barnes & Noble, they've got a CD version as well as an MP3 version on audio. It just costs a little more than the hardcover. I hope you get a chance to check it out. I have PTSD, and don't like people to touch me either- no hugging, no shaking hands. You can actually get pretty sick doing those things. And to tell you the truth, I think Howie's right about hygiene. Everyone should be like him, in that way, really clean.
Just don't feel sorry for him, okay? He's come a long way, and he's doing pretty good. I'm happy for him, and he's an inspiration to me. Please don't respond. This comment will self destruct soon.

@HaraldTheTalker if you had OCD you would have done the same thing

@itscuppycakeBITCH I had OCD and quite badly too, but never treated people like that. I wouldnt treat a dog like I saw Howie treat his assistant. I had OCD THrough several years of 'facing your fear' treatment, I finially overcame my OCD. OCD has nothing to do with if you are mean to people. Its an obsession and the compulsion to cleans yourself of it. Today my OCD is eliminated to a point where all I do is wash my hands once when I get home like any normal guy does.

I too have (quite severe) OCD. I am very lucky to not be germophobic. Howie's book bolstered me in my fight against it for one day and that alone made it worth reading.

I admire Howie greatly for sharing his struggles with a brutal honesty. This is where that verse "The truth shall set you free" applies as I'm sure it's been a huge relief for him to let people know who he really is, even if some still laugh. Thank you Howie for your transparency.

@quaxk usually people don't shut up when they are being interviewed. That's why it's called an interview. Fucking moron

I would like to read this. Howie is so cool. I don't think many people realize how difficult it is for him to appear so often in public, with his condition. In junior high, I started having problems like his, and it made me VERY shy.

did u read the book?
adaptivardware 2 years ago
no, I have a comprehension problem and I don't believe it is on audio, which is what I need. Um, no, I feel sorry for him because i have seen his ODC in action. I was diagnosed with OCD tendencies. I suffer from Apergers syndrome which is also a neurological disorder. it is a mild for of autism. I have problems with people touching me too.

I just checked Barnes & Noble, they've got a CD version as well as an MP3 version on audio. It just costs a little more than the hardcover. I hope you get a chance to check it out. I have PTSD, and don't like people to touch me either- no hugging, no shaking hands. You can actually get pretty sick doing those things. And to tell you the truth, I think Howie's right about hygiene. Everyone should be like him, in that way, really clean.

being real clean is one this, but being OCD is what the book is about, not even he would wish that upon someone.

Just don't feel sorry for him, okay? He's come a long way, and he's doing pretty good. I'm happy for him, and he's an inspiration to me. Please don't respond. This comment will self destruct soon.
