[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad's OCD/anxiety manifests itself by a desperate need to know something RIGHT NOW.

For example, if he cannot remember who directed a movie, the title of a book, etc., he'll Google it and jot it down somewhere. So there are little pieces of paper with things like "Brian DePalma" written on it scattered around.

With all due respect, it's just the beginning.

It's definitely anxiety-related as of now, according to all the specialists he's seen. He's clearly been on the brink of an anxiety disorder his whole life, but it was always manageable.

He takes Seroquel and it's really helped. He used to get up in the middle of the night to Google things, and he doesn't anymore. He's 75 and this started 4 years ago when he was diagnosed with COPD. The thought of not being able to breathe triggered all his other anxieties. [/quote]
