Should a person with mild OCD appear on BB

The news of legendary rugby league halfback, Andrew John's retirement has been inescapable especially if you live in NSW or Queensland particularly in Newcastle and the Hunter Region (where I live), you would think Andrew Johns is god or something. Debate has already begun in the rugby league community over whether Johns should be inducted as an immortal immediately and there are plans underway to name the new grandstand at EnergyAustralia Stadium, the 'Andrew Johns Stand'. There will continue to be fall out and debate over the next couple of days and probably weeks as the media will continue to keep a sharp eye on how the Knights perform without their halfback.

I raised this story on another blog but I'll do it here as well because I don't know whether to be disturbed or intrigued by this story. The Daily Telegraph are reporting that Channel Ten reality TV show Big Brother are set to have a contestant on the show with mild OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) when it begins on April 22. I don't have the greatest understanding of exactly what OCD is, from memory it's a mental condition but that's about all I understand of it so maybe someone can let me know.

Anyway that's all I have to say so tata cyaz

I have a freind with a case of "mild" OCD, and he functions perfectly fine in his personal life and in society...the condition or syndrome can be anything from washing your hands 100 times a day to opening and closing doors repeatedly, or even as mild as going around your house three or four times checking windows and doors before you go to bed...or twisting a few strands of your hair all day...It doesn't mean the person afflicted is crazy, they just have an "obsessive" habit or habits...the links I've posted below may help you to understand a little more about OCD...
