Meet Rebecca Ryan - the girl who has learned to beat her OCD demons

At a low point, Rebecca Ryan could only leave her house through a window. She tells Sharon Ní Chonchuir how she learned to beat her OCD demons

REBECCA Ryan may be 16 years old but she’s no ordinary teenager. Three years ago, her OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) became so extreme that she couldn’t deal with the colour blue, the number four or doorways.

It got to the stage where she had to climb through windows to leave her house near Kilrush, Co Clare.
