Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: Stop the Madness!

If you think you have OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), then you know you have it.  There's really nothing like it, and when it strikes you or a family member, it has the ability to turn your once normal life upside-down.  Obsessive Compulsive Disorder can strike at any age, even beginning at the early age of 4.  Now, what is this nasty disease I'm talking about?  OCD is a mental disorder that has you questioning yourself and living by the words, "what if...?"  What if I didn't shut off the stove?  What if I didn't lock my doors?  What if I ran somebody over and didn't know it?  And this is just the "obsession" part of the disease.  Now comes the "compulsion" part.  This is the second half of the illness that will make you believe you are truly going insane.  So let's take it from, "What if I didn't shut off the stove?"  The next part is to check to see if you did or not.  And then check it again.  And then check it again.  That is the compulsion.  Sounds like fun, huh?  I wouldn't wish this one on even my worst enemies!
