Well, my health teacher recently assigned my whole class a progect where we have to work in groups. My group is a bit larger than everyone else's. there are six people in my group whereas every other group has five people. We were assigned with the mental disease called, Obsessive compulsive disorder. Every project has to include : General information, causes, symptoms, and treatments. We all decided to take one topic to do. We added a topic called extra info abou the disease. That way everybody has a topic to do for their group's disease. However i am the ony person left without a topic since my group has 6 people. SO i really don;t no wat to do. Does anybody know what topic i could do that is about the OCD disease?

Wash your hands 30 times a day, dont shake anyones hands, count your steps in even numbers before walking into your class.

I think it would be very interesting to get a first hand account of what its like living with the disease or a family member of a person who has it. You could even follow them around for a couple of hours with a camcorder to get about 10 minutes of footage of them doing regular activities to show what kind of impact their illness has on them and their family's . You could even ask them to do a five minute interview in front of your class and just ask them some questions about their experience ,(how long have they been afflicted with OCD , what were the events leading up to seeking professional help , how long did it take them to be diagnosed , what kind of meds they take, what would happen if they stopped taking their meds, where would they be if they never sought out help, is there anything that triggers it or makes it worse, and ask them to share with the class the part of their life that has been affected the most - example: career , home , love , social , self image , children , and what would they say to someone who thought they might be suffering from OCD. etc.....

Check OCD at google.com and see what they have on the subject and find facts about something the others are not working on. I am sure that you will find something.
