University of Texas at Austin graduates Rachel Immaraj and Kovid Gupta both have obsessive-compulsive disorder, but hid the condition from each other throughout a years-long friendship. For Gupta, that initially seemed normal. Diagnosed at 13, his parents told him to keep it secret while he underwent medication and therapy.   

“When (Rachel) was 28, that's when we all found out she had OCD,” Gupta explained to an audience. “That's when I kind of came out of the closet and told her about my OCD also, and we realized, how have we been friends for so many years but never told each other we have OCD? There's a story here to tell.”
