ABOUT MADE OF MILLIONS
The Made of Millions foundation is a global advocacy nonprofit on a mission to change how the world perceives mental health.

Each year, millions of people around the world are diagnosed with a mental health condition. People of every age, country, gender and ethnicity. Millions more go undiagnosed, and are forced to battle their symptoms without the care and support they deserve.

As sufferers, we know their pain. We know the isolation they experience at the hands of cultural stigma. We know the anger they feel at media outlets who misrepresent their conditions. And we know the frustration they have with healthcare systems that make it impossible to find help. The Made of Millions Foundation wants to heal this pain.

Using the power of art, media and digital technology, we’re on a mission to transform how the world perceives mental health. And in doing so, create a safer and more inclusive future for sufferers everywhere.

SSRI has helped me about 50% and ERP helped about 40%. As an OCD sufferer it's present about 10% and that's the life of a surviver of OCD (ME).

Great video! Where can I learn more about the specific studies relating to the treatment ideas talked about here, such as the one about injecting a virus into the brain? Also, can you make some detailed videos about what we have learned about how OCD works in the brain, and make videos that show how these treatments would work in the body? Diagrams and graphics would be great. I'm learning about OCD online and looking to how I might help contribute / speed up research toward a cure.

After years of experiencing OCD and learning about it. The best and most simple way is to show your brain that the intrusive thoughts aren't important. Compulsions show your brain the thoughts are important so it gives you the obsession again. Break the cycle by disregarding the thoughts. Easier said than done I know. The jury is out whether SSRIs work for me. Check out Ali Greyman and Mark Freeman here on You tube...That's my view anyway
