Kaisla Maria, who was diagnosed with depression in 2010, has been treated as a depression patient for over a decade. However, she suspected that her struggles were related to something more complex, which was eventually identified as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). In the short documentary 'OCD – The Invisible Storm', directed by Terhi Romo, Kaisla opens up about her experiences, expressing that she initially had no understanding of OCD, nor did she realize that not everyone experiences a constant noise or intrusive thoughts in their minds.

Kaisla Maria recounts her earliest memories of OCD symptoms starting from childhood, highlighting how her fears and compulsive behaviors dramatically impacted her daily life. For instance, she shares a traumatic experience from when she was eight years old, needing to sleep with bright lights on due to her anxiety. The first major episode that severely limited her life occurred at the age of twelve, when her compulsions made it impossible for her to touch certain objects, including her front door handle and phone, due to a belief that they were contaminated. This heightened fear led to significant restrictions on her activities and social interactions.

Through this documentary, Kaisla aims to raise awareness about OCD and its impacts on those affected. By sharing her story, she hopes to provide insight into the often misunderstood nature of OCD and to offer a sense of solidarity to others who might be experiencing similar challenges. Her narrative not only sheds light on the personal struggles of living with a mental health disorder but also emphasizes the importance of early recognition and appropriate treatment.
