OCD affects sufferers in a million different ways, Alyssa Lomuscio explained. The Temple film major is hoping that her senior project, a 15-minute movie, “A Jaded Life,” will give people a better understanding of obsessive-compulsive disorder and maybe even prevent kids from bullying other kids who have it. "In high school, we watched a movie about OCD, and kids laughed. I remember feeling two feet tall. I knew then I wanted to make a film to show people what it was really like."
