David Monaghan, who has dealt with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) since age 11, has co-written a play to educate the public and dismantle stereotypes surrounding the disorder. The main character, Daniel Lanigan, recounts his encounter with OCD symptoms from a young age, illustrating the intense struggle and the painful experiences that often accompany the condition. The play serves as a platform to raise awareness and foster understanding about OCD in a society that often mischaracterizes it.
Having lived with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder since the age of 11, David Monaghan sought to shatter stereotypes and educate the general public about the disorder by writing a play.
It started when I was young, about seven. I washed my hands again and again until the skin on my knuckles cracked and bled. This is how Daniel Lanigan, the main character in a play I co-wrote based on my experience with OCD, describes first encountering their symptoms.
