From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

OCD - or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder - is an anxiety disorder characterised by intrusive thoughts, which the subject feels the need to "counter" using a ritual or action which he or she feels will dispel the intrusive thought and, furthermore, prevent it from occuring. An example of OCD is: "My elderly mother is about to die" (obtrusive thought) - which the Obsessive thus attempts to counter by touching all 4 walls of any room he or she enters (action/ritual). The Obsessive believes that, if he or she does not touch all 4 walls of the said room, the elderly mother shall die.(...) So please - keep a thought in mind for all of the Wikipedians who suffer from OCD - including myself - and next time we have a drop in edit count, try not to badger us...please? |
