The documentary features two of OCD Southern California’s board members, Chris Trondsen, an individual with OCD, and his mother, Elizabeth Trondsen.
This new film was directed and produced by Ethan Smith, the IOCDF National Ambassador, who is an LA producer and director and is living with OCD himself. Ethan partnered with Biohaven Pharmaceuticals to create this documentary to educate clinicians, caregivers, patients, family members, researchers, and generally promote awareness of OCD. This documentary is real, raw, touching, and educational — it does not focus on research but truly on the lived experience of individuals with OCD.
Following the film will be a panel featuring Ethan, IOCDF Executive Director Jeff Szymanski, Chris Trondsen, and Wayne Goodman, a psychiatrist and OCD researcher, who will all be taking live questions regarding OCD in general.
This is a great film to help family members understand OCD, and to let your loved one with OCD know that he/she is not alone.
