Target accused of poking fun at OCD with 'Obsessive Christmas Disorder' sweater
Jokes, jabs and a general lack of understanding surrounding Obsessive Compulsive Disorder all come at a cost to people who genuinely suffer from OCD, which is why some say a new line of Target sweaters is so upsetting.
The retail giant recently unveiled a new line of holiday sweaters that define OCD as "Obsessive Christmas Disorder."
People have taken to Twitter to let Target know that this kind of thinking — and marketing — is not OK, as it trivializes mental illness.

Hey @Target OCD is a real disease not a joke. I don't see any shirts making fun of cancer - why #mentalillness?
