Well, I think the question you have to ask is: Why did the idea of a mental condition even come to mind on this thread? And you reinforce it by suggesting that "people become too obsesed." So you characterize a person's interest in health as an obsession? That puts you in aggreement with Gracie.

Personally, I fit one of her categories -- I can't bear to throw things away. I try, will look at it and remember the meaning behind it and it stays. Definitely not healthy given I have one room stuffed with boxes of things I don't need. So, I guess she's assassinating my character as well. Good thing I don't take it personally, eh?
Sure, but this thread is not about anyones mental state. Is it?
