This Old Ghost — by Liz Smith

OCD Is Not A Quirk — by Shania MacIsaac
Living with obsessive-compulsive disorder can interfere with many simple everyday tasks that no one without OCD would give a second thought about, let alone a twentieth thought. It is a real illness that shouldn’t be joked about. I’m hoping this video will help show people that OCD is not a quirk, it’s a disorder. Hopefully this video will help bring positive, educational awareness to obsessive-compulsive disorder.

“I have OCD and Aspberger’s. I like things that are fast and loud. I love fast cars and rock and roll, and I write songs. This video is of my song ‘Ya I Got OCD Don’t You Pick on Me.’ Its about what OCD is really like. I don’t pretty things up. My therapist and I made the video together.
