When individuals are experiencing OCD this article definitely illustrates the picture of what these propre struggle with on a daily basis. I'm glad Osborn has given four different cases for us to take a look at. The media - in my mind - plays a major role in how society views people with this disorder. I can admit I was one who believed OCD was just recurring actions that were uncontrollable, with no apparent explanation as to why these people did what they did. After reading, my view has shifted!!!! I was amazed to see that OCD in some cases as described by Osborn is, "the battle in the mind that can come to rule peoples' lives". The cases of filth, harm, lust, and blasphemy, were all different OCD cases but illustrated a common trait from different sides of the spectrum. Raymond shaking uncontrollably from the his spill fantasies seemed nothing compared to Sherry's thoughts of hurting/killing someone (including own child). Upon further reading, I became even more amazed at the internal struggle that Jeff faced when his thoughts pushed him to think was his gay, a pervert, and wanted to have sex with his dog, ALL UNWANTED THOUGHTS. It's unfortunate to know that this disorder still has no cure, because the evident picture that Osborn has portrayed for me is these people was, are, or have been living in a prison within their own bodies for so long in mere hope of rising themselves of the mental suffering...
