What Are Myths and Misconceptions About OCD?

One is that it's just it's in someone 's head technically everything it's in our head right, but the idea that I can just one day I can just decide not to do my hand washing just because I'm being ridiculous about it or I'm thinking about something else and I can just turn it off, right, you would never ask someone just to turn their diabetes and not be diabetic anymore.

I think that people will often misunderstand why people are doing their rituals like we had talked about before if I'm washing my hands, because I am worried about germs, people might think that I'm therefore very I am liking to have cleanliness new order in my life, so I think there's this misconception that anybody who washes their hands is a clean person or needs order.
