Today Channel 4 (a UK Broadcasting Company) show “The House of Obsessive Compulsives” at 9pm.
Three people with obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCDs) agree to live together as part of a ground-breaking experiment and put themselves in the hands of a team of therapists from London’s Maudsley Hospital.
Over the past 20 years, all three have tried medication, assorted therapies and even contemplated brain surgery in order to rid themselves of their OCD. But Wendy, Gerard and Sophie’s last ditch attempt to overcome the debilitating effects of their illness proves more intense and surprising than anyone, including their doctors, could ever have imagined.
