Of all the case histories I would have to say that the most serious case of OCD was the one of Obsession of Harm: Sherry, Osborn defines Clinical Obsessions as a battle in the mind and Sherry's battle was not an easy one. The thoughts of harming, and killing strangers and the ones she loves have taken over her life. She began having thoughts a the young age of 11 and the thoughts have been tormenting her since then. I believe she has the most serious case because not only are her dangerous thoughts towards others but also towards herself, her thoughts are triggered by stress and a feeling of unbalance so she tries to keep herself busy all day but at that one moment she finds free time the thoughts begin again. Although she does receive counseling and help for the thoughts they always return when she feels stressed. To think that she can keep herself busy 24/7 is unrealistic and if anything will bring her more stress, things can happen unexpectedly therefore her OCD can be triggered at anytime.
