From James Luetchford, London, UK
I was deeply affected reading the article on breakthroughs in understanding and treating obsessive compulsive disorder. Having struggled with OCD since being diagnosed in 2006 (aged 14), I have been surprised just how few people really understand what it is and how debilitating it can be (14 September, p 32).
However, I have never chastised anyone for using the “little bit OCD” quip (Leader, 14 September). Instead, it is an opportunity to educate them – and perhaps help open doors to more charitable funding for the research so excitingly gathering pace!
