Obsession Compulsive Disorder
When I was searching for topics I had a few main ideas in mind but I wasn’t sure which one I wanted to choose, Obesity, O.C.D. and Plastic Surgery were some of the ones I wanted to do but I also considered some others. After searching obesity I found that there was not a lot of information on this topic and most of it was not backed up by a person or there site just plainly looked phony. Then I searched for information on O.C.D. and found a lot of information on it but really did not want to select this as a topic because of the load of information. Right before I was going to move on to plastic surgery I realized that one of my friends was already doing that and was pretty sure that it was what she wanted to do and I really didn’t want to do the same thing that someone else was doing. Then I had to decide if I wanted to do my I-search on obesity, O.C.D. or a completely new topic. I knew that if I searched for it new topic it would leave me less time to work on the rest of my paper, writing my paper on O.C.D. would give me a lot of information that my paper would need. I didn't know very much about this topic before researching it but wanted to know what it was because I had heard someone claim to have it. My questions I have for this topic are: What they are doing to help patience’s with this disorder?, Is there a cure?, What are the signs?, Can it be inherited?, And more information on what it is?
“Lather, Rinse, Repeat. Repeat. This may sound like a shampoo bottle, but it is not. It is just one of the many rituals that may plague the mind of someone who has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or O.C.D.” (Understanding O.C.D.) Perhaps what is worse though is that people with O.C.D are widely misunderstood, especially as children and teenagers. If the public were more educated about the causes, behaviors, and treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, the people who suffer with it would not have to suffer in silence. I found out that O.C.D. is an illness...
