Now, what problems could Jessica Alba have on her case? Well, she has the same thing I have! She has OCD, which is an anxiety disorder that gives one the need to repeat certain things, such as hair-combing or hand-washing. It peaked on her 25th birthday, when she got stressed over the two hundred balloons her boyfriend put in the hotel room to surprise her. Don’t worry Jessica, not only do I have this problem as well, but about 2.2 million adults in the United States has some type of OCD.
