What for most people is a common habit, washing hands, the boy of 13 years Douglas, was an obsession. "With 7 years, he began to wash their hands too. Just kidding, I would stop and wash their hands. Watching and I asked why he was washing his hands. He said they were dirty. Suddenly, he began to smell your hands. He was nervous and my hands smelled., "Says the mother of the teenager.

In the beginning, the family did not take very seriously. "I thought it was a systematic boy, he liked to do things several times, it was manic," points out the father of Douglas.
But it was not. One day Douglas was a crisis. "Once he was taken by the swimwear and a towel was in his arm. He was desperate screaming, yelling in the bathroom, saying he had something enter his skin. He began crying, desperate. I got the neck, spoke. But he was very desperate. It was then that I realized that something wrong was happening to him, "describes the mother of the young.

"Place the tongue out, hitting the chin, the nose, and tearing paper. When I am very nervous, I tear paper. This happens several times, do not stop. Where it wishes to do, if I do not, I think something bad will happen, "James describes.
The account of his grandmother to live with someone who has the disorder is not easy: "It is very difficult, must have great patience, has to count to three because even if you lose patience, because very annoyed, very there. I am very angry. Sometimes I cry and one says he can not stop, cry, say that you want to stop with these manias. "
With 5 years of treatment and a life ahead James has a special dream: "Stop with these manias. Talking to my friends that this will pass, that is not defective, that is my family. I want to heal and I can. "
