“Shannon Fleishman sat in her room at McLean Hospital, eyes shut tight, hands clenched together until her knuckles were white. She was shaking. I watched her and thought, “If I didn’t know the truth, I’d think she was a cocaine addict who just ran out of drugs.But that wasn’t it. Shannon Fleishman was trying to fold a shirt.”

CNN has a very interesting 7 minutes long TV program about OCD. They also interview Michael Jenike Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School, and you get look at how they treat OCD and the OCD Clinic – we need one like that in Denmark.
