BIZARRE: Ocd one of the most misunderstood mental health conditions - What They Never Told You

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition that affects many people in the country. People think of OCD as someone who needs all their books in a nice neat row, checks the front door is locked five times or needs everything on their desk in the right place. And indeed it is for some, but for people like Holly Moore, it was much more than some peculiar compulsions.

She always considered herself to have some level of anxiety. Things like not wanting to be too far from home or be out of her comfort zone.

But it wasn’t until intrusive thoughts began to take over her every waking moment she realised she couldn’t go on like this. In desperation, she called up a psychiatric hospital begging them to take her in as a live-in patient as she believed she was going mad, reports The Mirror.
