The 'America's Got Talent' judge and comedian participated in a virtual discussion this week on mental health issues — and how a new therapy can help those with OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder).
during the virtual session,"Why do you think there is still a stigma attached to mental health issues in this country?"
He added,"As a child, if you referred to something as mental it was never a positive. And people who did suffer from mental issues were traditionally removed from society and locked away." Mandel also said,"I’m proud to be a public face — one of many — who today focus on mental health and hopefully encourage everyone [to know] they are not alone. Please do visit NOCD and know many treatments available today are covered by insurance."
NOCD, co-founded by Stephen Smith of Chicago, aims to"restore hope for people with OCD through better awareness and treatment."
