People know Howie Mandel as a comedian, actor and game show host. But what many fans don’t know is how much he suffers from a crippling fear of germs — something he has joked about before, but never spoken seriously about until now.

The 54-year-old “Deal Or No Deal” host suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD — a debilitating anxiety disorder that produces inescapable repetitive thoughts.

    It focuses too much on the clean OCD. There is multiple versions of OCD. Like fearing you will hurt someone or have a psychotic break. Things that aren’t easily reassured by making sure things are clean. It’s difficult in many regards. Many.

    It's not humiliating or degrading, it's just opening up about your health problem. It should be just like the same thing like talking about diabetes or high cholesterol. I don't know why people are so afraid of talking about mental health problems. That's why public mental health is in one of worst states right now I guess.

    OCD is not limited to the physical but can be debilitating by intrusive thoughts

    I was diagnosed with OCD at the age of 12. OCD is extremely debilitating and really is hard at home.

    As someone with OCD, using the bottom of the shirt to open any door is so real I freak out if I can’t do that 😭

  34. @MetalForLife1970

    January 1, 2024 at 8:01 am

    This video isn't portraying all the evils of this disease. This is only touching on contamination/health ocd. There are many other levels of hell to this disease about almost any horror the mind can possibly imagine!

  35. @icecycles859

    January 1, 2024 at 8:01 am

    you cant feel or see germs instead youre assuming it, but when triggers me is actually skin grease and that of other people now that you can feel its tactile it indicates other people have touched it

    thats why as an indicator i never lotion my hands in fact it actually starts to bleed since I wash so much and they are so dry

  36. @mikimarkos4696

    January 1, 2024 at 8:01 am

    I eosh my OCD is as easy as his 😢

  37. @desertgrowndank7256

    January 1, 2024 at 8:01 am

    Newsflash to everyone whos sympathizing with this clown, its not ocd, its called being a germaphobe, ocd means obsesive compulsive disorder not cleaning disorder

  38. @sbrooke210

    January 1, 2024 at 8:01 am

    This doesn't seem that unusual to me. I'm a germophobe and I open all doors with my shirt and I don't touch hand railings and things that other people touch. I use a glove when I get gas. It's just smart. The world is dirty. don't wear shoes in your house and be aware!!

  39. @jjitters7004

    January 1, 2024 at 8:01 am

    Yes, he’s got an issue but it’s no excuse for the fact that he’s just not funny. He does goofy dumb stuff and expects people to be amused. It’s not happening, playing on people’s reasoning that you have an issue and therefore, what ever I do in life, it WILL be successful because I have an issue. It’s not reasonable to take this stance and I dare say if most people are being honest with their own selves, they would agree

  40. @Dolly-GirL

    January 1, 2024 at 8:01 am

    What i dint understand, is…people like Howie, and any.other famous person, who has tons of money…access to the best help…..so why is he still struggling with OCD?
    I have crippling, debillatating ocd ( germs and contamination)..(mostly fear of bathroom/ toilet, poop germs )…its pure hell. Everyday is hell. Ive had it about 15 years. I dont think its possible to get better. Im stuck in this hell.
