Laundrie told police he and Petito both suffered from a mental condition and that neither take medication, the report said.

I saw elsewhere she claimed to police she was "OCD." I have known a few young women with OCD and the disorder manifests itself such that they are barely able to leave home. They couldn't deal with the stress or disorder of going to school or the grocery store, much less a cross-country trip in a small van.

OCD runs in my family, but only one person (a male) manifests it like that. It ranges from hoarding to counting things over and over to obsessing about details that seem important to the individual but not much to others. One is a compulsive liar.

I think you have over-generalized this condition. It’s more common than you think.
