Dictionary.com defines obsession as the domination of one’s thoughts or feelings by a persistant idea, image, or desire. People use the word obsessed for everything. For example, if someone says, “OMG I’m obsessed with the New Episode of Orange is the New Black”, or, “Honestly I’m obsessed with the Drake album.” The new Drake album isn’t constantly on your mind blocking your other thoughts it’s simply a thought in your mind where you can still focus on other things. An obsession is something that you cannot stop thinking about. It is constantly taking over your thoughts to the point where you can’t think about anything else. The term, “Obsessive Compulsive Disorder” or “OCD’ is also used very loosely. The National Institute of Mental Disorders
