Distinguishing OCD From Other Mental Illnesses

"Many psychiatric terms are used inappropriately in common speech, and describing focused or meticulous people as “obsessive” or “OCD” is another misuse of a technical diagnosis. While you may like teasing your sister about organizing her closet by color, this behavior does not make her OCD."

I wish OCD were simply a desire to keep things organized.
