Idea 01

Throughout the months of June, July and August BBC Three have had special selection of programmes under the theme "It's a Mad World" which looked at a range of mental health problems that affect young people of Britain.

One programmed especialy caught my eye and gave me an inspiration. 'Extreme OCD Camp' followed the lives of 6 teenagers/young adults living with obsessive-compulsive disorder who embark on a life changing treatment course departing to the USA.

Mental health is an issue with a lot of stigma, however, a lot of the worlds population is affected by them; whether it's depression, eating disorders or multiple personality disorder.

One idea had from watching this series was a short clip on the theme of a documentary following the trouble that someone has suffering with OCD (one based around a phobia of sickness and bacteria). For example the difficulty one would have just pouring and eating a bowl of cereal, a task that the majority find easy.
