» Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen - anxiety disorders common

I hadn't realized how many anxiety disorders there are! Everything from generalized anxiety to posttraumatic stress disorder, with phobias and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) in the middle.

Howie Mandel, host of Deal or No Deal, is Canadian - and he has OCD. He's very open and honest about it, and said in the interview that he's a strong proponent of counseling. It doesn't sound like he's "cured", though - I wonder if it's like alcoholism or a chronic illness that comes and goes? It's always there, but not always active?
