An obsesive, multiple essay (OME) xD

There was a case in the TV show Dr. Phil, about a problem called: Multiple Personality Disorder.
There was a woman called Tracy, that had that problem, she is married and has 2 kids; she had 5 alternate personalities:
1. Becky; She was the most agressive
2. Miss Anne; She was the care taker
3. Sam; She defined herself as the CEO (Chief Executive Officer)
4. Susie; A 10 years old girl
5. Emily; A 5 years old girl, she was a crybaby
In the program, they showed images and videos about her problem, but mostly about Becky, the most recurrent personality.
Becky tried to hurt herself because she thought she was getting a punishment, once she tried to commit suicide, but her husband stopped her.
Then Dr. Phil asked Tracy if she could bring Becky to the program, Tracy acepted and started to concentrate then, suddenly, Becky showed up, but unfortunately, I didn't see more, so that's the end of the first part. :)

The second video talks about a woman who had an obssesive compulsive disorder, which is a disease of making all perfect, like lining up everything, cleaning all, etc.
The woman washed her hands every time he touched something that she considered dirty, so i think she washed her hands like 15 times.
Then she showed us a process of washing her hands, that she washed in the middle, between the fingers, trough the nails, etc. After that, she dried her hands and cautionausly deposited it in the garbage can... But she touched the can a little, and had to wash again xD
And then we watched a video about OCD, its syptoms, how to recognize it, etc.
But I considered it a little bit boring xD
Then we watched a movie called "A Beautiful Mind" but I didn't understand it well because Mr. Sousa was advancing an delaying it so, you know, xD I understood that there was a mathematician called John, that was schizophrenic, I think; he had imaginary friends because of the mental illness.
Then he and his wife had a baby, later the mom went to the former office of his husband, and saw very interesting things. After that, she heard the baby crying and started to run.
When she arrived to her house, she saw the baby drowning in the tub.
But fortunately she saved him, and started shouting at John about the baby; he said that someone was taking care of him, but he was refering to his imaginary friend, he didn't know he was imaginary.
But that's all we saw Dx
