#OCD also stems from many different things contaimination is a common example used but it doesnt mean that all ppl have the same kind

Funny thing to explain that tends to fall on people's ears even with immense research is how versatile OCD is.
OCD simply refers to obsessive compulsive disorder. It's a disorder around an obsessive thought which distresses which then triggers an compulsion or urge that is done or is on the mind in order to sooth the obsessive thought.
Nowhere in this disorders description refers to cleaning or cleanliness so it does irk me that people still use the term "I'm so OCD" for referring to not standing mess. It's not only immesly rude but also further perpetuates the social myths of what OCD is vs the actual disorder.
I could elaborate further and have spent a long time researching the negative effects of disorders like OCD being buzz terms negatively effecting the people who struggle with OCD but that's another thought.
TLDR: OCD is not a cleanliness disorder or peak organization and schedules disorder. But an actual disorder that affects people in a variety of ways that's not silly goofy
#anxiety disorders like OCD very much are no quirky traits#OCD also stems from many different things contaimination is a common example used but it doesnt mean that all ppl have the same kind#little fact is that the obsessive aspect is usually around what people fear or have immese anxiety around#a person can have ocd around religion or morality stuff to.#there is no one kind obssesive thoughts all ppl with ocd experience and it varies case to case#OCD talk#yeah i am saying this from the done the research and has ocd side of things#i have actually written mutiple papers on the effects of miss use of the term ocd has on ppl who have the disorder#a similar phenomenon has also occurred with anxiety and depression with the rise of using disorders as buzz words#which has infact harmed many people due to ppl having their experiences demonized from actually having the disorder#not the tiktok or insta 'this is what depression is uwu' false info of just im sad#or ppl using the term anxiety to just say they are stressed.#miss use of.terms has caused a very strange thing to occur where ppl have a false notion of what mental health issues and disorders#actually are its kind of crazy to see the research and effects in real time
