This article really opens up my eyes to what life is like living with OCD. It is a serious disorder which isn't just about having to do things in a certain order, but also causes horrific thoughts and may cause despression. Kids can show signs of OCD as young as 3 and need to be treated right away. Therapy is the most effective way to help with OCD. This is a much more serious disorder than I had orgininally thought and this article shows that there is more to this than just being obsessive.http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/11/health/ocd-kids-website/index.html?iref=allsearch
I find the article interesting, particularly because I have OCD. Not many people know what its like to live with the disorder and most think that because its not an illness that required medication, its still very serious. In my case, constantly counting and tapping in a certain number of times becomes an awful burden with my OCD
