Abstract
Introduction: Jeffry Hyman (1951-2001), an introvert boy from Queens, New York City, grew up to become one of the most iconic figures in New York's punk rock scene in the mid-1970s: Joey Ramone. In this study, we explored how Joey and his family coped with his health issues and peculiar behaviors, which were eventually identified as symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Methods: A narrative review of biographical sources was conducted to explore and infer the impact of Joey's OCD on his close relationships. Results: The onset of OCD and concomitant hoarding behaviors during his teenage years profoundly disrupted family dynamics, leading to considerable burden and generating conflicts. Discussion: Joey Ramone's pathobiography and the impact of his illness on family members and close friends shed light on the intricate relationships between OCD, hoarding disorder, and family accommodation.
