A far cry from his predecessor's formal and pragmatic style, Boric is seen by many as an emotional leader, who is not afraid to open up about his own mental health. He has publicly said that he suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder and previously spent two weeks in psychiatric hospital.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a disorder in which people have recurring, unwanted thoughts, ideas or sensations (obsessions) that make them feel driven to do something repetitively (compulsions). The repetitive behaviors, such as hand washing, checking on things or cleaning, can significantly interfere with a person’s daily activities and social interactions.
