More than half a million Australians have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, it is so much more common than we think it is and it doesn't always manifest in ways we expect. Author and OCD advocate Penny Moodie's joins Sam Wood to discuss her personal experience with OCD, what to look out for and how we can best support the people in our lives with OCD.
