OCD, or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, is a mental illness that comes with a lot of misconceptions. Many people think of excessive tidiness, and perfectionist traits when throwing around the term OCD. I have to admit, I too fell into this mindset, and it wasn’t until a recent diagnosis of OCD that I realized just how much terror and fear accompanies the illness and how much of an impact it can have on someone’s life.
