At first, I did not like the show. After a while it grew on me because the show made us aware of someone's Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, which I have. It looked like the show was making fun of O.C.D. I realized otherwise. Yes, I do find Monk's behavior funny alot. I just wonder if Monk ever used medication(s) for his illness? I take several medications and quite frankly, I am alot better now than I was almost one year ago!

Hey I also have O.C.D. and I do watch the show. I felt the same way you did about the show. Then I realized that it was not making fun of people with O.C.D. but making people aware of it.

One of my favorite shows, because it is realistic, shows people with problems and how one can overcome or work around those problems if they put their mind to it. Yes, I do find it entertaining, how he is able to solve all these crimes, yet deal with OCD.
I'm sure Monk uses medication, but that is up to the script writer or book author. Might be good to show that in a future episode, which will show even more the realism of a person dealing with such problems as OCD.

Good show. I have never heard him talk about meds, but he does see his therapist regularly on the show.

I watch 'Monk' here in the UK, but can't decide if its serious or a comedy. One of my favourites!

I love this show. He did try meds once, but they changed his personality.
