"I wish you could experience it so you would really understand" Obsessive Compulsive Disorder has often been summed up as a person being extremely tidy, or having a quirk where they repeat the same action multiple times. But for people living with the anxiety disorder, it can be crippling. On today's episode of The Quicky we hear from someone with lived experience of OCD and also an expert to help us understand more about an often overlooked condition.  THE END BITS  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Share your story, feedback, or dilemma! Send us a voice note or email us at podcast@mamamia.com.au and one of our Podcast Producers will come back to you ASAP.

You’d be forgiven for thinking Harry & Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, were back in the royal fold, given their recent tour of Nigeria. But alas, they’re still out of favour with the current working royals. But wasn’t this hybrid working model of royal-but-not-fully-royal life what the Sussex's suggested to the Queen back when they were trying to move out of the family fold? Have they shown up the struggling firm by exposing how it could have been for them had they kept the couple on the books? The Quicky team looks into whether this Invictus Games tour of the African nation, is a political manoeuvre or a diversion tactic.

Warning: Please note this episode discusses domestic violence and an assault. If that is triggering for you, please take care when listening.  A video was recently leaked to US news service CNN of a man in a towel assaulting his girlfriend in a hotel hallway in 2016.  That man is Sean Combs, aka P.Diddy, now known as just Diddy. And the woman he was assaulting was his girlfriend at the time, RnB singer Cassie.  So what happens now that we have actual video evidence of this? And what do we make of the apology video that followed?  In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to The Spill's Laura Brodnik to take a look at exactly what Diddy did, and what happens now.  If you, or someone you know, needs to speak to a professional you can contact 1800 RESPECT on 1800 737732 Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Share your story, feedback, or dilemma! Send us a voice note or email us at podcast@mamamia.com.au and one of our Podcast Producers will come back to you ASAP.
