    Good morning, have a great day everyone.

    My name is QA, I'm a psycho doctor, and this is agent.Tran, she


    belong to CIA. Today, we are coming here, doing research on
    your mentality.We will mainly focus on OCD, which was
    revealed to be more common in the socialty, especially in the
    hustle and bustle world nowadays

    This survey will cost you just 10 minute. And at the end of this
    survey, their will be a survey sheet that u nees to fill in. So
    please, attention.

    3 main part 
    Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
    OCD is not a personality trait. It's a mental health disorder

    It is a mental disorder where people feel the need to check things
    repeatedly, perform routines repeatedly (called "rituals"), or
    have certain thoughts repeatedly.
    People are unable to control either the thoughts or the activities
    for more than a short period of time.

    Common activities include hand washing, counting of things,


    and checking to see if a door is locked
    So agent Tran have told us abt the re-checking, pefectionism and
    constantly worrying.

    And Besides the feature, another main part is Misconception.

    First of all, the fake OCD. As I said, yes,


    OCD means that a person has obsessions and/or
    compulsions on a daily basis.
    But not like
    Our parents or grandparents, always tell us to " Hey! Wash your
    hand twice adays" , which accidentally lead to our habit of
    washing our hand.
    Similarly, in daily life, you like to rearrange your table, clothes,
    need it to be clean and satisfy
    And, of couse, some might think this is OCD.
    But no, i'm gonna teld you, No! OCD is not just this, and it's
    more worsen than this.
     
    But the other type of Fake OCD is well, really bad. It's you do is
    on purpose.
    I know, in this growing world, to catch up with other is
    necessity, and some want to be speacial, be unique. That the
    reason why they start to pretend. And what the easiest way? To
    be an OCD.
     
    They like the attention that comes as a result of being mentally
    ill.
    OCD is perfect because it makes them seem like people who are
    inclined towards achieving perfection, but have been wrongly
    victimized by this desire and to cope with things as they are.
    "Woe, woe is me, pity me. I tried to do everything right and now
    I can't help but do everything right, all the time! It's ruining my
    life!"
    At this point you, the listener, are supposed to nod
    empathetically. “I'm sorry you're going through this.”
     
    People who pretend to have mental disabilities usually want
    attention. They are trying to project an image, tell a story, get
    you on their side. That's how they know they are loved- if
    someone cares enough to listen to them.
    Since people don't listen to their other stories, they throw in a
    story about OCD to grab your attention.
     
     

    But, what about to be a real OCD, It's a passive.


     
    ARE PP BORN WITH OCD?
     
    People are definitely born with a predisposition to have OCD.
    That is, that the symptoms of OCD are more or less likely to
    occur whether they actually develop OCD or not
    Depends on
     
    1) How their brains develop after they're born, which is due to
    both genetic variables and the influence of their social and
    physical environment
     
    2) Major life events throughout their whole lifespan, including
    as adults (trauma, abuse, other physical or mental illness, intense
    stress, loss, etc.).
     
    It's like a bridge across water. Some bridges are stronger than
    others, and they can handle more weight.
    But even a strong bridge can snap if the weight is
    overwhelming.
    And a weak bridge can stay intact if it carries a light load.
     
     
    But again, to sum up, the processes into OCD are typically the
    same pathway into most mental disorders.
    People are not born with OCD, but they are tuned to easily have
    it or not, which further depends on what happens in their life.
