Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder- what is it?
-People who have O.C.D. have an overwhelming urge to repeat certain rituals or behaviors, these are called compulsions. Ex: washing hands, counting, checking on things, or cleaning.
Symptoms
unwanted, repetitive, and intrusive ideas, impulses, or images, having any of the above examples of obsessions and/or compulsions.
Total Constant Order- book
-In the book, Fin would constantly wash her hands and if the ritual was ever interrupted she would start over.
-Fin would also think in numbers, whether it be counting certain objects, counting syllables, or patterns.
I would recommend the book Total Constant Order to anyone interested in learning about the daily life and the struggles of an individual who suffers with this disorder.
