This post is part of Celebrity Health Week at the b5media Health & Wellness Channel. For more information about Celebrity Health Week posts here at Mental Health Notes, visit Introducing Celebrity Health Week: Celebrities And Mental Illness.

Back in March, I wrote Celebrities With Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Smile For The Camera! as part of the I Must Shave My Legs: The OCD Miniseries here at Mental Health Notes.
While it would be a bit redundant to re-list those famous people with OCD, I will point you in the direction of a few Web sites that go into detail about each celebrity’s obsessions and compulsions or offer a few more names to add to the list of celebrities with OCD:
- 12 Obsessive Celebs – A Life Less Disorder-nary
- Here to Help: Famous People with OCD
- OCD in the Media
- Celebrities with OCD
- Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation: In the Media
Stay tuned for information about obsessive-compulsive disorder, political figures and mental illness, and celebrities and suicide.
