As part of the American lexicon, the term “OCD” has come to take a comical reference to individuals who are seen as meticulous and obsessed with details. However, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a psychological condition that takes a large toll on one’s life.

Often, the condition can be debilitating for the OCD sufferer by consuming large amounts of time and energy. In addition, because OCD is a disorder that stems from overwhelming anxiety, it can cause significant mental distress. It is important for parents and educators to be able to identify and placate the symptoms of OCD, particularly because the disorder manifests during childhood and adolescence.
