A Guide on OCD
Understanding OCD
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental condition characterized by recurrent unpleasant thoughts or feelings (obsessions) or a strong need to repeat a behaviour (compulsions). Obsessions and compulsions can coexist in certain persons.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder isn’t about bad behaviors like chewing your nails or obsessing over negative ideas. It’s possible that an obsessive notion is that particular numbers or colors are “good” or “bad.” After handling something potentially filthy, a compulsive practice could be to wash your hands seven times. You feel helpless and stop thinking or doing these things, even if you don’t want to.
Everyone has behaviours or ideas that come up again and again. OCD patients have thoughts or behaviours that
- take up at least an hour every day.
- Are out of your hands
- Aren’t much enjoyable
- Obstruct your career, your social life, or another aspect of your existence
Types of OCD
OCD manifests itself in a variety of ways, however, the majority of cases fall into one of four categories:
- Checking locks, alarm systems, stoves, or light switches, or suspecting a medical condition such as pregnancy or schizophrenia.
- Contamination is characterized by a dread of being contaminated or a strong desire to clean. Feeling like you are being treated like dirt is a sign of mental contamination.
- Symmetry and order, the urge to arrange things in a specific order
- Ruminations and intrusive ideas, as well as a fixation on a certain line of thinking. Some of these ideas may be aggressive or upsetting.
Symptoms of OCD
Many persons with OCD are aware that their thoughts and behaviours are illogical. They do things not because they enjoy them, but because they are unable to stop. If they quit, they get so depressed that they begin again. Obsessive thinking might include the following:
- Concerns about harming oneself or people around you.
- Constant awareness of blinking, breathing, or other bodily sensations
- Suspicion that a partner is unfaithful despite no evidence to support it
Compulsive behaviours might include things like
- Performing activities in a certain order every time or completing a certain amount of “good” tasks.
- Counting objects, such as steps or bottles
- Touching doorknobs, using public restrooms, and shaking hands are all things that people are afraid of.
Causes of OCD
Doctors are baffled as to why certain people suffer from OCD. Stress might exacerbate symptoms. Women are somewhat more likely than males to have it. Symptoms are more common in teenagers and young adults. The following are some of the risk factors for OCD:
- OCD in a parent, sibling, or kid
- Differences in the physical structure of some regions of your brain
- Tics, depression, or anxiety
- Trauma-related experience
- As a youngster, you may have experienced physical or sexual abuse.
After a streptococcal infection, a kid may develop OCD. PANDAS, or pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections, is the name given to this condition.
Treatment of OCD
OCD has no known cure. However, medicine, therapy, or a combination of therapies may be able to help you control how your symptoms influence your life. Some of the treatments are as follows:
- Psychotherapy: Cognitive behavioural therapy might assist you in altering your thought habits. Your doctor will place you in a scenario meant to cause anxiety or trigger compulsions, which is known as exposure and response prevention. You’ll learn to reduce, then eliminate, your OCD thoughts or behaviours.
- Relaxation & Meditation: yoga, and massage are all simple techniques that can assist with stressed OCD symptoms.
- Medication: Many patients benefit from psychiatric medications known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, which help them regulate their obsessions and compulsions. It might take 2 to 4 months for them to start working.Citalopram (Celexa), escitalopram (Lexapro) and sertraline are some of the most common. If your symptoms persist, your doctor may prescribe antipsychotic medications.
- Neuromodulation: When treatment and medicine aren’t making enough of an impact, your doctor may suggest devices that alter the electrical activity in a specific part of your brain. Transcranial magnetic stimulation is one type that has been authorized by the FDA for the treatment of OCD. Magnetic fields are used to activate nerve cells. Deep brain stimulation is a more complex treatment that involves electrodes placed in your head.
- TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation): The TMS unit is a non-invasive magnetic field generator that is held above the head. It works by regulating OCD symptoms in a specific region of the brain.
OCD-Related Complications
OCD is comparable to a number of other disorders. Some are:
- Your appearance is appealing (body dysmorphic disorder)
- Assembling, organizing, or putting things in order (hoarding disorder)
- Pulling your hair out/eating it (trichotillomania)
- Getting your skin picked at (excoriation)
- Illness of the body (hypochondriasis)
