a plague of tics

A plague of tics was one of the most interesting essays that i have read.  It's very hard to think what life would be like if I had obsessive compulsive disorder.  A kid in my high school had it and he would always be made fun of but it obviously wasn't his fault.  There's nothing you can do about it.  This essay is really funny and really interesting, and this guy seems to have one of the worst cases that there is.  I hated the part where his father punched him in the face thinking that would be a good solution.  It was funny how the author made that a funny part and said that he enjoyed it.  This is a terrible condition because the brain has all the power over ones actions.  I also thought the whole college section was funny.  Its funny to think that as much as you could hate or be annoyed with someone with a disorder such as OCD, they might hate you 100 times as much.  Pretty ironic.
