OCD
A more modern public figure with OCD was the legendary Howard Hughes. From childhood, Hughes was obsessed with avoiding germs. He devised a system of “insulations” of papers towels and tissues for protection and demanded that everything be brought to him wrapped in these materials. He also insisted that doors and windows be sealed to prevent germs from entering his home. Ultimately, Hughes was overwhelmed by these efforts and ended his life in filth and neglect (Sasson et al., 1997).
