http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Obsessive-compulsive_disorder

Extractions: Classification and external resources DiseasesDB = 33766 ICD-10 F ICD-9 eMedicine med/1654 MeSH Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a neurobiobehavioral anxiety disorder characterized by distressful, time-consuming thoughts (obsessions) followed by repeated behaviors (compulsions) undertaken in the (often sub-conscious) "belief" that they will lessen the stress and anxiety of the sufferer. While all of us have routines in our life that we undertake repeatedly, in the case of OCD the subject's obsessive, and intrusive thoughts and their accompanying related "tasks" or "rituals" interfere with the afflicted person being able to maintain a balanced or healthy lifestyle. OCD is distinguished from other types of anxiety, including the routine tension and stress that appear throughout life by its excessiveness. However, a person who shows signs of fixation or displays traits such as perfectionism, does not necessarily have OCD, a specific and well-defined condition. As with other disorders there may be varying degrees of intensity and a proper diagnosis is warranted in order to match appropriate treatment to the person. While the cause of OCD is unknown, some studies suggest the possibility of brain lesions while others explore a more psychiatric analysis such as the impact of major depression, organic brain syndrome or schizophrenia.

Repetitive behaviors such as handwashing, counting, checking, or cleaning are often performed with the hope of preventing obsessive thoughts or making them go away. Performing these so-called "rituals," however, provides only temporary relief, and not performing them markedly increases anxiety. More about Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder » People with OCD may be plagued by persistent, unwelcome thoughts or images, or by the urgent need to engage in certain rituals. They may be obsessed with germs or dirt, and wash their hands over and over. They may be filled with doubt and feel the need to check things repeatedly. Effective treatments for obsessive-compulsive disorder are available, and research is yielding new, improved therapies that can help most people with OCD and other anxiety disorders lead productive, fulfilling lives.

In recent years it has been increasingly treated with antidepressant medications. OCD consists of two components - obsessive thinking and compulsive actions . It's possible to get the diagnosis without having both components. The textbook example is someone who compulsively washes their hands. This person may obsess about germs or dirt. In order to stop these thoughts, they wash their hands. When the thoughts return, they wash their hands again. These compulsive actions can become ritualized. For example, some people with OCD may believe that they must turn the light switch off exactly seven times in order to be certain that is really off. "Psychoanalytically, obsessive-compulsive neurosis is interpreted as a defense against aggressive and/or sexual impulses, particularly in relation to the Oedipus complex. The initial defense is to the anal-sadistic level, but the impulses at this level are also intolerable and must be warded-off - by reaction formation, isolation, and undoing."

Extractions: What is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a potentially disabling condition that can persist throughout a person's life. The individual who suffers from OCD becomes trapped in a pattern of repetitive thoughts and behaviors that are unproductive, distressing, and extremely difficult to overcome. OCD can severely disrupt a person's capacity to function at work, at school, or even at home. People with OCD usually have considerable insight into their own problems. Most of the time, they know that their obsessive thoughts are senseless or exaggerated and that their compulsive behaviors are not really necessary. Most people with OCD struggle to banish their unwanted, obsessive thoughts and do everything they can to prevent themselves from engaging in compulsive behaviors. Many are able to keep their obsessive-compulsive symptoms under control during the hours when they are at work or attending school. But over the months or years, resistance may weaken, and when this happens, OCD may become so severe that time-consuming rituals take over the sufferers' lives, making it impossible for them to continue activities

They invaded every aspect of my life. Counting really bogged me down. I would wash my hair three times as opposed to once because three was a good luck number and one wasn’t. It took me longer to read because I’d count the lines in a paragraph. When I set my alarm at night, I had to set it to a number that wouldn’t add up to a ’bad’ number.” “I knew the rituals didn’t make sense, and I was deeply ashamed of them, but I couldn’t seem to overcome them until I had therapy.” “Getting dressed in the morning was tough, because I had a routine, and if I didn’t follow the routine, I’d get anxious and would have to get dressed again. I always worried that if I didn’t do something, my parents were going to die. I’d have these terrible thoughts of harming my parents. That was completely irrational, but the thoughts triggered more anxiety and more senseless behavior. Because of the time I spent on rituals, I was unable to do a lot of things that were important to me.” People with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have persistent, upsetting thoughts (obsessions) and use rituals (compulsions) to control the anxiety these thoughts produce. Most of the time, the rituals end up controlling them.
