I think a lot of people inappropriately label themselves with a mental illness - perhaps it's a fad thing to do or maybe it's just a way to get attention. I do know that a lot of these people are diagnosing themselves and do not quite understand the nature of the illness they label themselves with.

I've come across hundreds of people on the internet that claim to be OCD because they think about a friend or boyfriend/girlfriend a lot, or like watching a certain show only. Simple things that while are a bit obsessive do NOT amount to OCD. OCD is a behavior that is disruptive.

I'm diagnosed with both OCD and OCD personality.
