| Video Discription | Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a psychological disorder that is much more complicated than germaphobia or obsessive organization. People who suffer from OCD experience disturbing intrusive thoughts and compulsive behavior that inhibits their day to day lives. Why is it that OCD causes diagnosed individuals to question their identities and behavior? This talk by Jayde Edgren shows an example of how OCD can change someone’s life from one incident. As someone who was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder at the age of eleven years old, Jayde has been dealing with OCD for much longer. At the age of five years old Jayde’s OCD was triggered when she was accused by her father for saying something inappropriate. This inciting incident led Jayde to develop Homosexual Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (HOCD), the fear of the possibility of being gay, and Pedophilic Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (POCD), the fear of the possibility of being a pedophile. Despite her challenges Jayde managed to become a competitive dancer for four years, ran small businesses, and got accepted into the Faculty of Arts at the University of British Columbia. Jayde is now pursuing to transfer into the Sauder School of Business in hopes of making her dream of owning a real estate development company, come true. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx NMGFE3sHIyg |
