Identify some examples of OCD portrayed by the media? In your opinion are these examples an accurate or actual portrayal of OCD why or why not

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

usually the media (such as films, television shows,etc) depicts OCD as the obsessive instinct of a person to have all things neat and orderly. For example, they show people with OCD as arranging everything in an orderly manner, as if they cannot live without the things being in order. However, this is not necessarily true. People with OCD are not obsessed with order. OCD is an anxiety disorder wherein a person experiences repeated unwanted thoughts. Their mind tells them to do something, and if they resist, they become anxious. does that help?
