Sami Sheen Defends OCD Claims Amid Criticism

Sami Sheen, daughter of Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen, addressed skepticism on TikTok about her obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) diagnosis by detailing various compulsive behaviors she experiences. She described actions such as touching the same part of an airplane every time she boards, repeatedly checking expiration dates, opening curtains in the guest bathroom upon arriving home, and specific seating preferences in cars and restaurants. She criticized others who trivialize OCD by associating it solely with being "clean and organized." Although she did not confirm a formal medical diagnosis, Sheen emphasized that her compulsions have persisted since childhood and are intensifying. Experts define OCD as involving unwanted thoughts and fears leading to ritualistic behaviors aimed at reducing stress. Sheen expressed frustration over having to justify her condition publicly while aiming to raise awareness about the disorder's complexity.
