Target has been accused of trivializing mental illness by stocking a holiday sweater that reads: "OCD Obsessive Christmas Disorder."

We first spotted this story on Adweek, which points out that Target isn't the only retailer selling goods with the slogan this season.

However, given the size of Target, it appears to be the company that has drawn the most ire by stocking the item.

Twitter users have been complaining about the sweater and have asked Target to de-list the product.
