&"sessive Compulsive !isorder( Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety
disorder in which people have unwanted and repeated thoughts, feelings, ideas,
sensations (obsessions), or behaviors that make them feel driven to do something
(compulsions) !aving OCD is incredibly challenging for people who have it, but that
doesn"t mean that a person can"t function normally and even thrive with the condition #n
this slideshow, we look at seven successful celebrities who have OCD
$ustin %imberlake has not only brought &exy 'ack, he has also revealed that he has both
(DD and OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) #n an interview with Collidercom the
)*-year-old singer+actor is ,uoted as saying, -# have OCD mixed with (DD, you try
living with that.
!e also said that the condition affects many parts of his daily life - right down to making
sure ob/ects are always lined up perfectly
(ccording to the 0ational #nstitute of 1ental !ealth (0#1!), OCD -- an anxiety
disorder characteri2ed by repeated, upsetting thoughts called obsessions and repeated
actions or rituals called compulsions -- affects about )) million (merican adults #t
strikes men and women in roughly e,ual numbers and usually appears in childhood,
adolescence, or early adulthood (DD affects approximately ) million children in the
3nited &tates and according to the 0#1! between 45 percent and *5 percent of these
children will continue to exhibit symptoms in the adult years
%hough (DD and OCD can obviously present challenges in an individual6s life,
problematic symptoms improve with treatment and %imberlake is obviously thriving
$ustin6s (DD has etiological causes because he wants to get the attention of his family
and former classmates by making them laugh !e loves it when he makes everyone laugh
and he loves the butterfly feeling when he comes up on stage to perform 7hile his OCD
is biological because it is thought to run in families &ome research has shown that
changes in brain activity and pattern may also cause the condition, and it often occurs
alongside other illnesses, such as depression and anxiety
!avid Bec-ham ( &"sessive Compulsive !isorder

#n a television
interview to be
screened before the
7orld Cup this
summer, 'eckham
says he has tried to
break his cycle of
repetitive
behaviour but
cannot stop OCD,
as it is known,
affects one in 85
people in 'ritain,
ranging from mild
traits to a
debilitating
dependency on
rituals of
cleanliness, symmetry or other issues
#n the interview, to be broadcast on #%9:, he said; <#"ve got this obsessive compulsive
disorder where # have to have everything in a straight line or everything has to be in pairs
#"ll put my =epsi cans in the fridge and if there"s one too many then #"ll put it in another
cupboard somewhere
<#"ll go into a hotel room and before # can relax, # have to move all the leaflets and all the
books and put them in a drawer >verything has to be perfect< (sked if he wanted to stop
his obsessive behaviour, he said; <# would like to #"ve tried and can"t stop< 'eckham
admitted he was also addicted to having tattoos, partly because he en/oys the pain
%he >ngland captain said that his wife, 9ictoria, calls him a <weirdo< because of his
condition
0ewspapers have delighted in stories of 'eckham"s eccentric behaviour, with reports that
he wears white clothes to match his furniture, buys 45 pairs of identical Calvin ?lein
underpants every fortnight and insists on lining up his shirts according to colour
1rs 'eckham, who has revealed her husband"s inner secrets before, recently told one
interviewer; <!e"s got that obsessive compulsive thing where everything has to match #f
you open our fridge, it"s all co-ordinated down either side 7e"ve got three fridges - food
in one, salad in another and drinks in the third #n the drinks one, everything is
symmetrical #f there"s three cans, he"ll throw one away because it has to be an even
number <
'eckham said that his teammates at @eal 1adrid were unaware of his condition, but that
players at his former club, 1anchester 3nited, would deliberately rearrange his clothes in
hotel rooms or move maga2ines around to make them <wonky< to infuriate him
David6s OCD is also biological because OCD is connected with the brain functioning of a
person
