I have OCD and I was talking to my therapist about my family's history of mental disorders. There are several cases of depression in my family, but I couldn't think of anyone with OCD. Later, I was thinking about my grandma (who I don't have contact with) and I remembered going to her house when I was about ten years old and she had stacks of junk everywhere. She had an entire room filled to the ceiling with old newspapers, another with various other odds and ends (including some dried-up frogs). Basically, there was just trash everywhere. My family's always talked about how my grandma's been a little "off" and now that I know a lot more about OCD I'm wondering if it's possible that my grandma has the hoarding symptom and maybe I inheirted it from her. I don't horde stuff though...
