I found this reading very interesting, and at the same time it freaks me out. The more I got into the reading the more I pictured cases I have watched on the news about parents killing their children and soon after they kill themselves. Now, I realize these parents could have suffered of OCDs, and unfortunately the tragic outcomes are the only trace of what could be an OCD never treated. In this reading Osborn, a psychiatric specialized in OCDs, explains how he suffered of an OCD and was constantly invaded by thoughts where he hurts himself and his patients. He decided to keep his thoughts secret because he was concerned at that time not much could be done. This makes me think in those people out there whose lives become a torment as a consequence of those uncontrollable thoughts and feelings.
I could not imagine my life having an Obsessive-Compulsive disorder. It must be awful not having your life under control; however, it is very admirable to know that there are people who overcome OCDs and live their lives respectfully. Osborn is an example of that because he uses his knowledge as a psychiatric and his own experiences to help people with OCD.
