Having OCD is kind of an adorable ‘quirk’ when you’re, say, Monk. But that’s the Hollywood version.
Now we’re going to get an unscripted version.
VH1 is producing a reality show featuring people who suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder, according to Variety.
The series will follow a group of patients with severe forms of the disease–and force them all to live together as they undergo treatment.
“Our viewers will see something of themselves in these patients as I think everyone has a little bit of OCD, making it surprisingly relatable,” says Jeff Olde, VH1’s senior VP of programming. “We want to open people’s eyes and hearts to a very real side of this disorder that can often ruin careers and relationships.”
The cable network seems to be turning into the self-help channel. The OCD project joins the rehabilitation series “Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew” and its upcoming spinoff, “Sex Rehab With Dr. Drew.”
