Inter Miami owner David Beckham says his OCD ‘is a nightmare’

David Beckham shared several times in recent years that he suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, known as OCD.

English football legend and current co-owner of the Inter Miami is painfully frank that it is difficult for him, but he is doing it. The disorder that Beckham suffers from is characterized by the presence of repetitive intrusive thoughts, fears, obsessions and actions, the meaninglessness or unreality of which the person is aware of, yet is unable to control.

Ever since he was a teenager at Manchester United academy, he has been addicted to rearranging hotel rooms and lining up cases of soft drinks to make everything perfect on match day and score at least one goal.
