Are we all too quick to claim a bit of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? Do we underestimate the damage it can cause? How difficult can it be to live with?
Businesswoman Michelle Mone has been getting criticism for an interview on Good Morning Britain in which she said she "loved" having OCD. She said her obsessions were "good" for her business - provoking an angry response from those saying Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a mental illness and shouldn't be taken lightly. Later on she insisted she has a mild version - and didn't want to underplay the illness.
About 1 in 50 people get OCD - but are we all too quick to put OCD as a label onto our foibles, our habits? The fact that we like being tidy, being clean...? Are we forgetting the problems that true sufferers face?
Are we too casual about OCD?
