Obsessive Disorder

Ariel is afraid of her own mind. She already feels like she is too big, too queer, too rough to live up to her parents' exacting expectations, or to fit into what the world expects of a “good girl.” And as violent fantasies she can’t control take over every aspect of her life, she is convinced something much deeper is wrong with her.

Если такие идеи не покидают вашу голову, это признак чистого обсессивно-компульсивного расстройства (ОКР). «Чистое О» отличается от обычного ОКР тем, что в нем не выражена явно физическая составляющая. Такое ОКР — в большей степени про обсессии (навязчивые идеи), чем про компульсии (повторяющиеся действия и ритуалы).
