Evander Beatty Is Speaking

“I am just a little OCD…”

”Stop being so OCD about it!”

“I know what you mean, I can’t stand dirty dishes!!”

Sound familiar? If it does, it’s probably because you have either heard it said or said it yourself, about being particular, or wanting things clean, or needing to be organized. Unfortunately, the problem here is that phrases like those do not nearly capture what living with OCD is like. 

Our guest today is so passionate about helping people understand his life with OCD, he wrote a book about it. Evander Beatty knows that OCD can be debilitating. It can be damaging, physically, emotionally, mentally and socially. It is not about “just needing to be clean” but the internal war that occurs when something is not clean, or done properly, or organized in a certain way. 

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder impacts the sufferer, but also the family, friends, colleagues and community of the sufferer. Evander has been through some dark times, but he came out the other side. And he’s sharing his story. Listen to his story. And remember, you never know what someone might be enduring. Those experiences are not a joke. They are real and sometimes painful. The more we understand each other, the more we can help each other navigate the world.
