The Man Who Is Obsessed With The Number 12 (Mental Health Documentary) | Real Stories

1. He needs putting in a room with only an immovable bed in it and nothing else so his brain can re-adjust.

2. I wonder if his wife pushed to get him help? That's a long time to be with someone and not try

3. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

4. Reminds me of Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory, but extreme

5. Who punched the door

6. Soda belongs in the fridge after opening lol

7. Smoke Weed

8. How old is his wife?

9. Bloody barbaric ECT used to be the remedy for everything that was deemed abnormal mental behavior. Thank goodness we have far more understanding today. I wish you all the strength in the world and send you infinite good energy.

10. I had OCD too when i was in middle school and my number was 8.

    I would always paint 8 times on the paper with my pencil.

    Sometimes it was so annoying that i would cry and hit myself.

11. He should be forced to do mushrooms,for everyone's sanity or lick an hallucinogenic frog if they don't work.

12. He needs proper help

13. The psychiatrist is so depressing

14. If you always worry about danger then you're never going to truly live

15. Did he tried exposure therapy?

16. I'm trying to get my head around why there are so many comments from 3 months ago which all seem to be so offensive, or rather negative. Perhaps someone did a reaction video to this recently? Idk, but here's what I'll say, the sh*tting that I am seeing and the disapproval of this man's problem goes ahead to show you how people generally react or respond to issues when men are the victims. I'm not surprised that someone said they were watching this with their grandma and she said the man should just forget it all. I haven't experienced this, I wouldn't wish this on anyone, and I don't see a single reason why anyone would think it's funny to fake this for that long.

17. Dear Lord….!

18. 18 hrs a day!?

    Poor guy!

19. I had strong OCD. I couldnt eat, I couldnt leave my bed. I was stuck in my head. It seemed hopeless. But for the people that are in the same situation right now. It can get better! I am fine now and I fought myself out minimizing the worst case scenarios, so I can let go and relax. Like:" if I dont do this ,this will happen to this person. But if it happens, it isnt so bad and I can still be there and help that person." Everybody is different though and this is just my experience in what helped. Talking about everything definitely helped, too. Also reached out to people who supported me. So there is hope and your life can get easier and less painful again. Wish you the best!

20. According to initial research, weed may reduce the intensity and frequency of OCD obsessions and compulsions. Additionally, weed can reduce symptoms of anxiety, a key aspect of OCD. Although this research is promising, there are also studies that show that, in the long run, weed may exacerbate OCD symptoms.Jun 12, 2024

    Mellow this man out, give him relief.

21. i hope he's doing better now 🙁

22. I wish him better! He gotta fight his fears. I have social anxiety and, as an example, I'm afraid of walking outside in front of people sitting on a bench because I feel my legs are freezing and I think I would look like an idiot but I do challenge my fear.

23. 14:33 for the first time in over 12 years….

24. i dont have any mental issues besides ed and depression (working on both and its going well) and sometimes when i touch the right or left of something i gotta “balance it out” and hit it the same number of times on the other side

25. Done in by a dozen

26. ECT traumatised him. I believe if he got proper help back then and it was acknowledged he wouldn't be so anxious now.

27. He needs to be committed for specialised help

28. Imagine how much easier his life would be if his favorite number was 1

29. lame and fake

30. Update??

31. Is there an update on Hughie and his family?

32. I one point he said If anyone can help me please do, marijuana is definitely a medicine for OCD I'm sure of it

33. I have a lite case of OCD ever since I was 12/13, and, being a minor, currently, it could get far worse in the future. Still, I barely go through my day-to-day life without meds/tools.
    My heart goes out to this man; truly, it's hard to see the outside world when your own mind keeps you locked away.

34. It's funny, I never got diagnosed with o.C.D, but I've always been obsessed with the number 4, and for me.If i'm doing something that's not indirectly affecting my life in fours i'm o k. Sunflower seeds are great because i eat them in fours and can focus on that when i need to do things in fours.

35. As someone who has always had OCD to varying extents (mild to quite severe), experience has shown me that only medication can really help someone who has it to the extent of the man in this video.

36. Unofficial X-Files episode

37. If he got rid of all that clutter half the problem solved 😂

38. He should take medicine, specifically SSRIs Fluvoxamine

39. this man needs a shock in his life that gets his brain to rewire its priorities

40. Is this the real life Derek ? 😂 the ricky Gervais sitcom 😅

41. 13

42. You try any xanax Hugh? Seriously…any meds?

43. This condition when severe will have you feeling you are going mad, you can feel great shame after, also have intrusive and unwanted thoughts. What it will do is ruin your mood and can trigger very bad depression especially if you stop sleeping well

44. This man not only needs inpatient cognitive therapy but he may need to look into getting brain surgery known as a cingulotomy. Someone this severe would most likely be approved but he should research this procedure as well as weigh the possible downsides of it.

45. I honestly think everyone has a little bit of this in them

46. Has this dude ever tried smoking a joint?

47. he was the one driving? no way
