IPHONE in the MICROWAVE? | Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Technology

Obsessive Compulsive disorder is a mental disorder that can lead individuals to have unwanted thoughts, doubts, and anxieties. To alleviate them, they engage in repetitive, and what may seem to others as unusual, behaviour. For example, if someone had cybersecurity concerns, they might microwave their phone to make sure its data is destroyed.
As my brother suffers from OCD, I wanted to make this documentary to explore OCD and its relationship in modern technology and to understand what it looks like, feels like, and how it can be managed. And therefore, learn how I can better understand, and support my brother.

This may be two years late but I came across this video and it resonates with me. I have a similar compulsion involving tech and microwaves. It's nonsensical but the thoughts are to destroy the things that I feel would add stress on my life without. Phone, ipad, etc. I'm currently in therapy trying to work on how to deal with it so I don't have to be on guard all the time. I unplug the microwave anytime I'm not using it because I fear I will throw my phone in there and turn it on to "check" if it would still work after the fact. Nonsensical I know, but that's what OCD can do to people. Love the video and thank you for sharing your family's experience
