In 2009, he was diagnosed with an eating disorder after which he was hospitalized. As a troubled teenager, Osherovich grew up in residential treatment facilities long-term recovery programs for teenagers that struggle with grades, mental health issues, drugs, nascent queerness, or general bad behavior. As Misha struggled with all of these issues, his parents hired an escort service that sent him to a residential treatment center [1]them.. While describing his horrendous experience of living in a residential treatment center in an interview, he said,

Basically two big, muscly men, they come and take you in the middle of the night without any explanation..There’s guards everywhere, you pee with somebody watching you, you get strip-searched, you get a flashlight shined on you every 15 minutes while you’re sleeping to make sure you haven’t offed yourself. “

Towards the end of his time at a program on the East Coast, Osherovich became outspoken about being gay, which was considered a non-compliance act by the concerned authorities.

In an interview, Misha said, [2]The Salt Lake Tribune

My mom looked at him (the principal) and told him that at this point, this man had hundreds of thousands of her dollars…So if he was going to expel her child because I was too gay for his taste and send me right back to the beginning, then this was not the place for her child. Because the fact of the matter is — she loves her child.”

Thereafter, his mother decided that Osherovich would be graduating from a normal high school. Later, he pursued a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting from Montclair State University. [3]Misha Osherovich LinkedIn Account
