On Feb. 9, 2013, six-year-old Josiah Orr was suddenly a different person than he’d been the day before.
“He woke up and he was pretty much crazy,” said his mother Melissa.
In a video taken a few days later, the boy is inconsolable, wriggling in her arms, and saying “sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry” over and over again.
Obsessive handwashing became the other big problem. Josiah thought he was always dirty and germs were everywhere – one day he washed his hands 10 times, with 18 squirts of soap each, until his hands were dripping blood.
