Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Most driven people have a little bit of i= t--it's what makes you chew your nails to the quick although you know you should quit. It's what drives you to finish a project that consumes you into th= e wee hours of the morning even though you know you should be getting some rest. But= in pathological cases it can dominate your life, such as "the boy who couldn= 't stop washing," in the book of the same title. Presumably, Samuel Johnson suff= ered from it. He had all sorts of rituals that he had to perform. It runs in= our family! <GGGGG> Sally
