The Best Treatment For OCD

 

Definition:

People have recurring, unwanted thoughts, ideas or sensations (obsessions) that make them feel driven to do something repetitively (compulsions).

 

Symptoms:

Obsession symptoms

1. Avoidance of situations that can trigger obsessions, such as shaking hands
2. Fear of being contaminated by touching objects others have touched
3. Intense stress when objects aren't orderly or facing a certain way

Compulsion symptoms

1. Hand-washing until your skin becomes raw
2. Checking doors repeatedly to make sure they're locked
3. Arranging your canned goods to face the same way

Causes:

1. Biology. OCD may be a result of changes in your body's own natural chemistry or brain functions.
2. Genetics. OCD may have a genetic component, but specific genes have yet to be identified.
3. Learning. Obsessive fears and compulsive behaviors can be learned from watching family members or gradually learned over time.

Complications:

1. Health issues, such as contact dermatitis from frequent hand-washing
2. Difficulty attending work, school or social activities
3. Troubled relationships

 Treatments:

1. Medications
2.  Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
3.  Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
