OCD and Blu-rays

[floridaswamprat]

Just some food for thought.

I have noticed that many members make mention of being, "a bit OCD" concerning their blu-ray collection. I wonder how many actually know anything about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

My daughter was diagnosed as an obsessive compulsive when she was 12 years old. She has gone through varying degrees and manifestations through the years. It has been heart wrenching to see her struggle with thoughts and behaviors that she had no control over. She is now 21 and through proper treatment, she lives a pretty normal life. Every now and then she will have a bad day.

I understand that people are not trying to make light of a debilitating mental illness (unless one is just a jerk); however, I think that if you choose to claim to be OCD, you should at least be aware of what you are talking about.
