A woman has a long-running compulsion to repeatedly check if the doors of her home are locked and has received a diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

A)
It's a relief to know that this can be changed if she continues with therapy and the medications she's been prescribed.
B)
It's odd that someone like her and someone who's depressed might both respond positively to the same drugs.
C)
I thought that this was something exceedingly rare, but I'm actually a bit relieved to learn that others have this disorder as well.
D)
I'm glad that this is something that's a result of life stressors and is not associated with any dysfunction in her brain.
