Obsessive Compulsive Disorder can be broken into obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are upsetting and distressing thoughts that barge into the person’s mind. These thoughts often lead to compulsions. Compulsions are behaviors that are distressing to the individual. Compulsions are performed to alleviate obsessions but do not make the person feel better. Examples include cleaning compulsions, repetition compulsions, number compulsions, ect… Treatment includes medication, behavioral therapy, and self-treatments such as brain lock. 1 in 40 people have OCD. That is as common as diabetes and is about 5 million people in the United States. It can be beneficial to allow students with OCD to type notes, have preferential seating away from the door.
