“I
may
have
OCD
because
a
therapist
said
so
and
I
said,
‘Yes
I
am
very
organized,’
because
I
thought
that
was
the
O,”
she
said.
“I
didn’t
know
what
OCD
was.
I
was
raised
in
a
religion,
Christian
Science,
that
doesn’t
acknowledge
diseases
or
disorders.
So
when
I
was
growing
up,
nobody
talked
about
anything.
There
was
no
discussion
of
anything.”
Yet
now,
with
new
knowledge
and
understanding
at
her
disposal,
the
talk
show
alum
is
recognizing
certain
behaviors.
“I
look
back
now
and
I
realize
my
dad
for
sure
had
OCD,”
she
remembered,
noting
the
condition
can
be
hereditary.
“He
would
check
the
doorknob
15
times
before
we’d
leave,
he’d
check
the
faucet
15
times,
he
would
unplug
all
the
appliances
before
we
left
the
house
because
lightning
could
strike
and
it
could
catch
fire.”
