I'm doing a little study on the subject of OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive
Disorder). It was supposed to have closed months ago so that someone could
analyse the data for me. But that went wrong and I'm looking round for
somebody else to do the analysis, so I thought I'd take the chance to try
for a bit more data while I'm waiting.

It's a strictly experimental study to see whether there are any astrological
signs of OCD.
I would like as many of you as possible to let me know:
1) Your date of birth, including year.
2) Time and place of birth if possible.
3) Brief note of anything unusual about your OCD. For example, no anxiety,
or no physical compulsions. If your OCD is hoarding only, it would be
useful to mention this too, as there has been some suggestion that this may
be a slightly different condition.
When enough dates have been collected, my idea is to analyse them by
computer and see if any features occur more often than would be expected by
chance. I don't intend to examine any horoscopes individually, and will not
record who the birth dates, etc. belong to.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks to everyone,
A. B.
