A young woman who works in the school cafeteria is also finishing a degree program in psychology.
Actually, she and her family run the cafeteria, and they have always been really great to me.
After two years of observing me, the young lady asked this question the other day (in Spanish):
Mister, do you have obsessive compulsive disorder?
She also knows English, so she then switched to that language in order to expound, "I have seen the way your clothes are always neat and the way you are always wiping the table clean when you are getting ready to eat..."
Now my educational background is in mental health, so it was funny to be "diagnosed" in this way. I could not stop laughing.
*Probably I should've pointed out to my friend that such a diagnosis is appropriate only if the symptoms rise to the level of distress or impairment for the person.
