<u>OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER: </u>

The state in which an individual feels the urge to do something repeatedly or has recurring thoughts is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

  • Fear of harming self or others
  • Fear of disease causing microbes or dirt or contaminating others
  • Fear of not having the needed things
  • Greater focus on moral or religious ideas

OCD can be due to hereditary and genetic factors.  The abnormalities in the chemical, functional and structural abilities of the brain causes this mental disorder. OCD can be controlled by repetitive counselling, medications like antidepressants and Electroconvulsive therapy in some refractory and severe cases. It affects roughly 2.3% of people.

Why were Lia’s parents "non-compliant" (i.e., not administering her medications according to the prescribed schedule)? Do you ag
Anarel [89]

Answer:

Yes, I agree.

Explanation:

It is the duty of parents and the state to take care of the health and well-being of children. If the parents are unable to take care of the child properly, ensuring their health and integrity, the State must intervene and remove the child from the care of the negligent parents. Thus, we can conclude that if Lia's parents do not provide the medicine she needs, at the right times, her countries are not taking care of Lia's health or well-being. For this reason, it is correct for Lia to be removed from the care of her parents, who are not taking care of her life.
