OCD and Bathing

Hello,

I'm currently helping to develop a documentary dealing with issues surrounding peoples perceptions of hygiene and wondered if perhaps somebody from this forum would be able to help.

We are looking for several people who have different experiences regarding hygiene - in the sense that their lives have affected the way they take care of themselves. For example we are looking for people who don't bathe out of choice, people who are seemingly too busy to wash and people who have conditions which affect their hygiene.

We were given information via a psychiatrist, whom deals with OCD sufferers, that OCD can sometimes result in people not bathing due to the process of washing dominating their lives (due to time consumption) and therefore they have had to make the choice to stop washing.

What we would like to do is speak with anyone who has/ knows of someone with a similar condition to this who wouldn't mind speaking with us about their experiences. We are making a serious documentary following these people's lives (only for a few days/weeks) and are looking to get information out there that could help people with similar conditions and whom feel that they may be the only ones suffering.

Please do get in touch should you wish to take part - either via email on [email protected] or via telephone on 020 7713 6868. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind Regards,

Simon.
