ABC bringing awareness to OCD

My son and I watched the 3/13/23 episode of The Good Doctor on ABC last night. It featured a lawyer with OCD who struggled to get into the court room because of her OCD. The actress who plays the role grew up struggling with OCD herself.

My son loved the show because it felt good to him to feel represented on TV and immediately said, "They should create a series and call it The Good Lawyer".... and surprisingly that was actually an in-season pilot for just that.

Let's let ABC know we support this move and help increase OCD awareness!

I'm in England and haven't had a chance to watch the programme. But it's good that OCD is getting publicity and that it's being properly represented.
