Part1

My question is in relation to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It seems as though it has become commonplace for people to blame any type of organization skill or cleanliness on the illness.

Anytime someone likes to have a desk neat and organized their coworkers say "Oh, she's OCD" (At least mine do!) I think that the word/ term gets thrown around a lot .

Do you think that the term "OCD" has become overused within our society and is its overuse causing it to become harder to recognize when someone really does have this disorder?
