#OCDletmego - Mental Health Advocacy

After participating on the TV-Show Switzerland's Got Talent in 2015 with an original song about my experience with Obsesive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), I collected CHF 15'000 via crowdfunding to raise awareness about this disorder through a videoclip. During this time, my project #OCDletmego received some exposure in the media. Since then, I have been public about my experience with OCD in different languages (English, Swiss-German, French), and have privately helped people to access therapy for a variety of mental health issues.
