Really great article ... nice find, RH! (TP) I must admit I have OCD as well, and though it is now discussed openly, and treated quite effectively with medication, it's something that always follows like a shadow, and something that can be very destructive if not recognized and dealt with on many levels.
I'm sure some remember Mahmoud Abdul Raouf, (who had Turrets Syndrome), who was an amazing shooter. He almost always had to arrive 2 hours earlier than everyone else for games and practice, (and stay later), in order to allow for the overflow of symptoms. That very often included seemingly endless shooting practice, or taking a half-hour to tie his shoes, as he had to repeat actions until they "felt" right.
OCD has some very similar pathology and origins as Turrets, and it manifests itself in very much the same way, although very often to lesser extremes. KG has some strong tendencies toward OCD as well, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if it was much wider spread in professional sports than is recognized. That said, it makes a lot of sense knowing this about Ray, as it explains much of his behavior and "reserved" personality.
I think discussing this kind of thing can only be beneficial, and more prominent people speaking out and admitting to such problems is a great tool in addressing a problem that has always been kept quiet to some extent. Thanks for posting this important issue, Roy, nice to see people react so positively to it!
