Felix Mallard on Supporting People with OCD

Mental Health Awareness Month is not just for people who struggle with mental health conditions! It’s for everyone who’s impacted by them, which includes loved ones offering support. And for a great example of how to support someone with OCD, we love @felixmallard’s character Davis in ‘Turtles All The Way Down.’
Davis shows us that while relationships come with uncertainty (which OCD hates) this, the goal of a supportive partner isn’t to get rid of uncertainty for their loved one. Instead, it’s to build a foundation of trust and acceptance while pushing them towards their recovery goals.
We are grateful to @felixmallard for understanding this beyond his character in the film and for speaking with us at our sponsored premiere of ‘Turtles All the Way Down,’ now streaming on Max.
