[edit]

I started the page because I want someone to clarify the distintion between the following:

For example, is cocaine addiction mostly a psychological addiction or a physical addiction? --Uncle Ed 14:50, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hoarding[edit]

I changed picture for hoarding and I feel I need to explain. First is just usual home library and even if person has some hoarding problems it is not clearly seen from the picture unlike other picture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.230.189.111 (talk) 11:53, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

removal of treatment/diet section[edit]

I removed this recently-added section due to multiple problems which could not be resolved:

This is not the OCD article. Please feel free to add a section about OCD treatment through dietary changes to Obsessive–compulsive disorder, taking into account the following problems.
It consisted primarily of advice about diet, in the imperative mood. Wikipedia does not offer medical advice.
Insufficient sources were cited.
It appeared to contain original research.

RE does not offer medical advice. Is Compulsive behavior a moral choice from freewill( a sin) or a medical illness?--Mark v1.0 (talk) 19:05, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rearranging and order?[edit]

This article doesn't seem to talk about rearranging objects to be perfectly aligned or feeling the need for absolute order. I thought that was the most prevalent part of OCD; is it not? Is it even a compulsion, or is it classified as something else? iRDM 19:25, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The header image[edit]

Is it really necessary to have such a graphic and potentially triggering header image for this article? I'm sure there's something better that can be used... an OCD chart or something like that? Krystoff Moholy (talk) 18:23, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Treatments and Cures[edit]

It would be nice to see something about how compulsive behaviors are addressed.208.66.148.83 (talk) 22:13, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Introductory photo.[edit]

I'm not a censor; but, that picture of dermatophagia is kind of nasty. Ew. It doesn't offend me; but, it grosses me out.
