00:01So, my family thinks I'm a clean freak.
00:04You are a little...neurotic.
00:06When you first felt this overwhelming compulsion to clean things...
00:11Yeah, I'd be a clean freak.
00:13Yeah.
00:15Alright, excessive compulsive disorder.
00:17Now I feel like an idiot.
00:19You want to tie everything up in a nice, neat little package.

00:30We have someone new with us today, Chris.
00:33And he's making a film about his journey to health.
00:36Shh, shh, shh.
00:38Completely calm and relaxed.
