Talking OCD - with Henry Slade, Nathaniel Wood and Freya Anderson

  • Summary

  • “I don’t think people know how paralysing it can be....it's like being in a mental prison, you feel trapped.”

    On this week’s Real Talk, England rugby union international Henry Slade, UFC fighter Nathaniel Wood and Olympic swimmer Freya Anderson open up about their battle with obsessive compulsive disorder – a condition that affects over one million people in the UK.

    As you'll hear, they discuss openly and honestly how OCD has impacted their lives and careers, whilst sharing how they sought help to manage the disorder.

    A special thanks to Dr Lynne Drummond, a psychiatrist specialising in OCD, who joins us on this episode to give us her expert advice.
