How can Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder affect my life?
Those who suffer from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder often have difficulty
completing daily tasks and activities. Their obsessive thoughts and ritual
actions make even simple tasks (such as getting dressed, driving to work,
and eating a meal) difficult. OCD can affect personal and private relationships.
Often people with OCD are ashamed of their disorder and this leads to a negative
self-image and the potential for drug and alcohol abuse.
