People explain they have it as we know it is not US it's something separate from us the distinction must be made. I'm not insane I have a biological condition. It is true that we thrive in academic settings. Often brilliance comes at a devastating cost :(
@ColinMeloy91 are you taking any medication for it? and if so how was it helped, i want to go to a psychiatrist for OCD but am afarid of the negative effects of these drugs how have they worked for you?
Y do people in movies/tv always explain that they have OCD? I had people call me OCD when I was growing up, long b4 I knew what it meant. People recognize it, it tends to stick out like a sore thumb...yes we can do ridiculous things but there's no need to keep bringing it up. Do ur thing and go on. Anyone that knows or loves u won't ask for an explaination, they usually just smile and hide their messes =)
I have never met anyone with OCD that is this 'out there' about it... Even with my own OCD I never told anyone. Even though it's unrealistic, I suppose it's good that they at least showed somebody with the disorder :)
This seems pretty unrealistic and kind of annoying; he definitely should have had his license revoked a long time ago, or at least have known he couldn't drive. Also he's kind of a jerk to people...
I don't agree with people saying no one admits to having this, but yeah, he's too straightforward and unfeeling about everything.
I use to have severe OCD when i was 6-12. When I walked or ran, I had to count my steps and think happy thoughts. If I thought of a bad though, I had to step back and rub my foot on where I "stepped the bad thought on" and I ALWAYS had to stop walking when my number of steps was an even number. I also had to write while thinking happy thoughts, or else I'd erase the words. I had to flick the lights on and off 3-10 times every time, and my shoes had to be equally tight on each foot. So much more!

I think the obsessions can be potentially the most disturbing part. Some sufferers report being obsessed with deviant sexual thoughts and loathe themselves because of it.
Hmm the more I learn about my OCD the more I see we as a species all have a bit of OCD. Even the animal kingdom has tendicies to have OCD espeecially dogs. So maybe it's a blip.. Just something in evolution decided to be really annoying!
Well played but as an OCD patient, i can't understand how you can handel all time in nr 3... I think he would go crazy if he would do everything like me
I find it extremely interesting that he says "You turned your compulsions into something useful, straight A's" we all have some degree of obsessing, the very key may very well be mastering your obsessing instead of letting it run amok with you.
Fear is irrational but at the same time you can devise rational fears which promote your well being if they must intrude.
everyone does have certain degree of obsessing, but ocd is really not something you can say so easily. it needs people to deal with in the way that people don't think of them as crazy and just overdoing things. it's not something you can just tell "don't let it go to your head" and things will be ok - it's called a disorder for a reason.
Well the compulsions are realistic but he wouldn't be telling it to people.
I have slight OCD myself and I can assure you it's really embarrassing to say to people (specially in the moment you are having the compulsions).
The problem is that you know it's irrational and that keeping poking the same table 30 times with your left hand until you get it right has absolutely no reason to keep you from failing at life but you can't help it, you have to do it.
I have hundreds of compulsions. They are very realistic, because i have many of them such as countign and not beign able to do anything until it reaches a certain number (mine is 16).
im sick of tv shows like monk- that portrait a cartoonish like character with ocd! youre not helping pepole that way! youre just insulting them! the only time ive seen a movie/tv that resemble realty is j.nicolson in as good as it gets

he may tell it to people. Some people with ocd have obsessive reassurance seeking.

Well, maybe you wouldn't tell it to people but some others may. I'll tell people, as long as the compulsion isn't too bad which his aren't.

this is the most idiotic and unrealistic piece of crap! a real doctor would have never "played along" with his compoltions
thats the first rule when you deal with someone with ocd it may increase his anxiety in the same momment but it will help him in the long run.
8888sam 3 years ago
yeah, but you can't just go 'STOP' and expect the patient to be able to stop straight away. it takes time...
