The term OCD, or
Obsessive Compulsion Disorder is an overly inaccurate term used to mislabel organized and cleanly people. But what people do not realize is that OCD
goes much farther beyond basic orderliness. The term is often thrown around,
but rarely is it used in the correct context. “Obsessive-compulsive disorder is
an anxiety disorder in which people have unwanted and repeated thoughts,
feelings, ideas, sensations (obsessions), or behaviors that make them feel
driven to do something (compulsions)” (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). A true
human that suffers from OCD has uncontrollable actions. Like in the Grey’s
Anatomy episode they may have to repeat words in increments of three, twitch
their fingers, or live in constant fear of the germs on their sheets. People who suffer from OCD have a hard time
finding a job, maintaining friendships, and functioning in everyday life.
Obsession Compulsion Order, “traps people in endless cycles of repetitive
thoughts and behaviors. People with OCD are plagued by recurring and
distressing thoughts, fears, or images (obsessions) they cannot control”
(WebMD). The compulsions are performed in an attempt to distract from the
obsessive thoughts.
