You hear it all the time. People casually claiming they're "OCD" as if it's some kind of extraordinary superpower. But let me tell you, the truth behind obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and similar conditions is far from what these misconceptions suggest. Picture this: I'm sharing a story with my colleague, explaining how OCD has completely disrupted my daily life and turned it into a never-ending struggle. Yet, despite the gravity of my experience, society seems to downplay it by reducing OCD to a mere quirk that helps someone keep their house tidy.It's time to debunk these myths. When someone casually declares, "Oh, I'm so OCD because I love organizing my planner," or "I have OCD because I can't stand crooked picture frames," they undermine the reality of those who have been diagnosed with OCD. Let's dive deeper into the fascinating truth about OCD, shattering stereotypes along the way.
