Using Architecture To Explain 16 Mental Illnesses And Disorders

So disappointed, when I saw this on facebook I was really excited to see it. I'm really sad that the image for OCD only fits into the common stereotype most people have of it. OCD is in the top ten most debilitating illnesses in the world. obsessions are irrational, including worrying that a loved one is going to die, you're going to murder a loved one, you're a paedophile, you've hit someone with your car...OCD has nothing to do with "liking" things in a certain way. With OCD if something doesn't look or feel right it means someone is going to die or something terrible is going to happen. People with OCD are ten times more likely to commit suicide than others. You don't do that because a picture is hanging slightly squint.

How is this supposed to be OCD? This doesn't represent obsessive thoughts/feelings, it might show some compulsions but misses the majority. Disappointing.

To those complaining about the OCD one not being symmetric.... OCD isn't always about symmetry. If you truly deal with it you would know that. People confuse OCD with OCPD quite a bit now because a few memes made them diagnose themselves.

All these attention seekers in the comments thinking they have OCD because this picture bothers are pathetic. OCD is something much, MUCH more than being bothered by asymmetrical images, all right? Stop trying to be a special snowflake.

Most people with OCD aren't obsessed with alignment. Some of us can't get through a test without praying...

I think a lot of you misunderstand what OCD really is. It has nothing to do with being being neat and orderly.

Is this a joke? It's not symmetrical at all and the roof doesn't fit. No!

No don't agree

This is so bad.... It has nothing to do with OCD at all not even a tiny bit OCD stands for Obsessive compulsive disorder meaning you Obsessively think about something (this usually happens out of nowhere and these thought are usually negative things you don't have any control over) and because of those negative thoughts you will get ridden with anxiety to make that anxiety go away you do these things called "compulsions" usually compulsions are things you do in order to know something 100% sure for example "is this door really locked" despite knowing you have locked the door you get anxious and you lock the door again for a short while you will think "okay the door is locked no need to lock it anymore" but then a few seconds later you will feel anxious again and you will walk to that door AGAIN and even though you tell yourself that door is locked over and over and over again you still doubt if it's locked or not. Excuse the standard example.

This is only relevant to standard OCD, even though the pattern is off putting and uneven. Maybe a perfectly symmetrical, pentagonal shape with an image to show even and steady uncontrollable ticks?

ACCURATE!!!!

Oh God, where are the tops of the black chevrons in the bottom row!? And why it the roof not at the same angle as the chevron so they line up!?

Not everyone has OCD for gosh sakes, most have a keen sense of sight of imperfections vs perfection. Something like this picture would irk many people. Just having the need to see or have things in symmetrical or perfect order isn't OCD. But hey if you want to label yourselves then knock your socks off, but that's called hypochondria.

and the little person ? depicted is setting it off off level and the roof is messed up i cant look at this its messing with mer

It's not uneven. The left side is a negative image of the right side. So the black chevrons on the left match the colorless chevrons on the right. The only difference is that at the bottom in the colorless areas there should be black triangles at the bottom as there are colorless chevrons on the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th columns.

This would be OCDP not OCD. OCD is not a perfectionist disorder, public always mixes them. Easy to see why, they are unrelated except for sounding similar. Completely different symptoms.

This would be OCDP not OCD.

They should have made it one more row bigger or one less so the pattern would be even and symmetrically balanced. As it stands, it's unbalanced and makes the roof look awkward. I'm very annoyed by this picture

The entire thing bothers me. Even the title for this on the website. It says "Ocd". Like whyyyyy 😭 It's supposed to be all caps like "OCD"

The roof! The roof! THE ROOF!

The pattern inside the house is uneven

I'm playing lost vikings and they keep pushing me forward

The pattern is uneven...

As somone with ocd.... im dien here looking at this design and how its all wrong on the top

...aaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHhh

Aaaahhhhh!!!!!!!! The ROOoOOOOoOFfffFfff!!!!

Not only the roof. Have you noticed that white figures at the bottom doesn't have black triangles like black has white?

I love how the patterns are consistent.

OCD with a disproportion like this? :D...

No. It should be symmetric. Centre organized, arrow right on top in the middle. :P

This is need! The top of the roof doesn't quite work with the pattern!!!

I have minor OCD but not real OCD. In fact i dont even consider myself to really have OCD i jsut get bugged sometimes but THE ROOF IS NOT ST

doesn't. fit. why.
