I loved the way Glee handled OCD in this episode- the stigma, the symptoms and the road to treatment. My only bone to pick: the psychiatrist played by Kathleen Quinlan - I'm assuming her vocation, as she was able to prescribe the SSRIs for Emma - spoke beautifully about acceptance in mental illness, mentioning every diagnosis except for schizophrenia. That, too, deserves an open forum. Come on, at least give it a mention!
Still, it's a start. Thanks, Glee. Someday maybe my Ben will may be proudly open about his illness. Maybe. But in the meantime, I'll remain thrilled that he is agreeing to treatment. So far, so good.
