Justin Timberlake: "I suffer from OCD"

David Beckham has famously admitting to struggling with it, Cameron Diaz avoids doorknobs like the plague, Leo DiCaprio admits he had a fascination with avoiding cracks in the pavement when he was a child, and now another celeb has come forward to talk about their problems with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Justin Timberlake admitted recently that the condition effects several aspects of his life, and he finds himself constantly checking to make sure things are lined up correctly. "I have OCD mixed with ADD," he said, "You try living with that. It's complicated." OCD is a psychiatric anxiety disorder characterised by obsessive thoughts, compulsions or rituals, while ADD is a developmental disorder, which causes forgetfulness, distractibility and hyperactivity. Justin also says he's addicted to performing live – but that can only be a good thing, right?

My sister has OCD and constantly checks things and can't concentrate on more than one thing at a time, it is very annoying to be around, I love her anyway :)

I have OCD. It's not a bad case though. I just can't be in a room if the door isn't closed. I can't concentrate and it really drives me crazy and can't do anything else till it's closed.

U can't slug someone for being celeb and having money to treat themselves. They happen to be human as well and be fortunate enough to have loads dosh. Is good that Justin spoke out because it shows that the illness or condition does get to celebs.

I have OCD & I used to drive my boyfriend crazy with things. I get worse when I'm stressed. It's really controlling but I try to find the funny side of it because it's here to stay!!
