Talk:Obsessive–compulsive disorder

I took out the part about trying to ignore it, or that ignoring it might be easy. It's over-simplifying to say "ignore it," and depending how a person ignores it, it might not get better. For example, accepting the thought is probably more helpful than repressing it, but both are forms of ignoring. I put in the part about accepting, because it's suggesting habituation, which is a kind of treatment. I'm not a psychiatrist, though, so I don't want to over-step my bounds, and if anyone thinks there's something wrong with this, they can take out the part about accepting. However, I think I wrote it in a manner that should be okay -- with advice to see a psychiatrist.24.64.223.203 08:08, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be appropriate to start a new section talking about a few people who have OCD? Obviously, it would have to be limited to people who have publicly talked about it, and everything would be sourced. Kansan (talk) 01:58, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment[change source]

Parts of the article look like an editor with OCD! It's too long for its purpose, and can't decide whether to get right into the topic, or skim over the top. Difficult for us, and might be best to cut it back to the definition + couple of examples. Macdonald-ross (talk) 07:25, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Still think that after a second read-through. Not simple, and a bit obsessive... Macdonald-ross (talk) 11:46, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
