Relation to Class:

Obsessed was a good movie but very over-whelming. This movie gave a good example of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Lisa who was the temp was obsessed with Derek. In Chapter 12, it talks about people who display this disorder are plaqued by persistant, upsetting, and unwanting thoughts called obsession. The obsessive thoughts motivate repetitive behaviors that can also be called compulsions. Compulsions are feelings that people believe will prevent infection ,aggressive acts, or other events associated with the obsessions. This in consider a Anxiety Disorder.
