Howie Mandel reveals he’s ‘incredibly medicated,’ admits mental health struggles are ‘absolute hell’

Laughter is the best medicine.

Mandel, who had his breakthrough in 1982 with the hospital drama St. Elsewhere, claims that humor helps him get through the tough days.

“I cope with humor,” the speaker said. If I am not laughing, I am sobbing. I haven’t been open and honest enough about how bad things really get.

Mandel adds, “I’m most comfortable on stage,” and that he fights off OCD’s attraction with humor. Furthermore, it bothers me when, when I have nothing to do, I withdraw inside of myself.

Mandel always manages to find time for projects, adding his unparalleled sense of comedy to each one. In addition to serving as a judge on the America’s Got Talent (AGT) series, he presents a number of events.

 

Excessively medicated

During their 2022 talk show interview, he confided about Kelly Clarkson about his mental health issues.

“I’m neurotic and have OCD.People assume that just because I’m out and about, I’m enjoying myself and having fun.It scares me. “I like to go home and just live in the fetal position,” he added to the host.

Looking shocked by Mandel’s shadow character, Clarkson shot back, “It’s so funny to me, because every time I’m around you, even seeing you out of work…you’re so the opposite of what I would think.”

“I know, I’m such a joy, I’m a light, I’m an energy, and I’m stunning,” Mandel laughed. “..To tell the truth, I take a lot of medicine.

putting an embrace on Reba

That prescription may have made him excited to see Reba McEntire on The Voice.

The show’s panelist Mandel sprang out of the crowd and called her name. Then he rushed up to say, “We’re right next door shooting the AGT finale,” to the specialist in country music. Would you kindly sign this for me?

Following McEntire’s signature on his “I [heart] Reba” shirt, Mandel unexpectedly embraced the audience tightly.

“You don’t see that every day,” host Carson Daly said of the man who typically shies away from personal contact.

Mandel says, “People notice discrepancies, particularly in the media,” acknowledging his confusing behavior.”Oh, he hugged someone,” or “He shook someone’s hand.” I’m able to shake hands with you. I would then assume that I hadn’t cleaned it completely. And I used to go around in a circle and wash my hands for hours on end.

With a purpose to carry on the conversation on mental health, he continues, “I understand the funny in that.” However, that doesn’t make it any less painfully horrible. Furthermore, I don’t want to defend my emotional health. My only goal is to continue it.

Mandel’s Covid-19 was mild in 2022 because he was “boosted” and “vaccinated,” acting as a reminder that being terrified of becoming sick is not enough to keep you safe.
