Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is more than a quirky preference for cleanliness or order, it’s a serious mental health condition that can significantly interfere with daily functioning. But is obsessive-compulsive disorder a disability under U.S. law? The answer is more complex than a simple yes or no. Understanding how OCD is viewed through legal and employment lenses is crucial for individuals navigating work, education, or disability benefits.

A s a family therapist, well-trained in the 1980s, I came of age professionally with an understanding of how symptoms of mental distress occur, and ways to address it. What most people don’t know is that we already found out a great deal about the causes of mental disturbance—but now we seem to have forgotten it. Psychiatry, along with the pharmaceutical industry, have been ostensibly busy looking for causes of mental distress but, unfortunately, they are looking in the wrong place.

I nertia—manifesting as profound states of immobility, hypoarousal, or emotional shutdown—is a frequently observed phenomenon among individuals with complex trauma histories.
