A Resource About Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One out of every forty Americans are locked in uncontrollable rituals
that interfere with day to day life. These obsessive compulsive disorder
(OCD) sufferers are tormented by obsessions; persistent unwanted thoughts or
impulses. They also can be haunted by compulsions; senseless repetitive
behaviors, such as constant hand washing, repetitive door lock checking, hair
pulling and more. Some researchers now believe OCD is a physical rather than
an "emotional" illness, and can be treated with medication. A national
nonprofit organization provides help and support to OCD sufferers. To contact
the OC Foundation write or call: The Obsessive Compulsive Foundation, P.O.
Box 9573, New Haven, CT 06535, Telephone (203) 878-5669.
