Knowing firsthand how difficult and devastating depression can be, it is important for its causes, symptoms and types be understood by society as a whole. Bibliography lists 17 sources.

Diagnosed Disorder: OCD
[ send me this paper ]
11 pages in length. Being compelled by the urge to display abnormal behavior is frustrating and embarrassing reality for people who suffer with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

Checking the light switch is turned off even though the light bulb is not illuminated, locking/unlocking doors several times, washing hands dozens of times a day or making sure the coffee pot is unplugged even though one remembers unplugging it are just some of the behaviors people with OCD feel compelled to do despite their logical thought processes telling them otherwise.
