[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 311599, member: 1233"] Now that you know about it you should talk to her doctor about it. I have a feeling you will learn it creates bigger problems for her than you realize. Wiz has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). He gets really fixated on something, usually related to monsters, dungeons and dragons, or Magic the Gathering. When he starts to change to another fixation he is always SHOCKED by the amount of money he poured into it. Right now he has THOUSANDS of dollars invested in Magic. He needs a car and if he hadn't poured every possible cent he could scrounge or earn into it he could buy a nice one outright. There are a LOT of ways to cope with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). medications are only one of them. SSRI's are often used. The dosage for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) treatment is usually higher than the dosage for depression. There are a lot of other treatments also. Please don't just assume it is not interfering with her life. Does the person near her with the cap off of his pen drive her nuts? How about the kid in the grocery cart with the barrette that is falling out? Is that a problem for her? Just some food for thought. [/QUOTE]
