OCD (OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER)

 

NOWADAYS its trend to use #ocd to tag posts

BUT is it really what you think of OCD is just habit of cleanliness???

no, it’s not...

I have been there and still struggling to get over it let me help you to take overlook with symptoms:

If you google it various pages shows large number of symptoms based on my little research and my experience i may tell you what are the most common I have seen some people with this disorder sometimes it varies some are common and some not.

 It Include:

• symmetry factor
• forbidden thoughts factor
• cleaning factor
• hoarding factor

The "symmetry factor" correlated highly with obsessions related to ordering, counting, and symmetry, as well as repeating compulsions.

The "forbidden thoughts factor" correlated highly with intrusive and distressing thoughts of a violent, religious, or sexual nature.

The "cleaning factor" correlated highly with obsessions about contamination and compulsions related to cleaning.

The "hoarding factor" only involved hoarding-related obsessions and compulsions and was identified as being distinct from other symptom groupings.

 

Obsessions

People with OCD frequently perform tasks, or compulsions, to seek relief from obsession-related anxiety.

Obsessions are thoughts that recur and persist despite efforts to ignore or confront them.

Compulsions

Some people with OCD perform compulsive rituals because they inexplicably feel they have to, while others act compulsively so as to mitigate the anxiety that stems from particular obsessive thoughts.

Some common compulsions include hand washing, cleaning, checking things (e.g., locks on doors), repeating actions (e.g., turning on and off switches), ordering items in a certain way, and requesting reassurance.

Excessive skin picking, hair-pulling, nail biting, and other body-focused repetitive behaviour disorders are all on the obsessive–compulsive spectrum.[2] Some individuals with OCD are aware that their behaviours are not rational, but feel compelled to follow through with them to fend off feelings of panic or dread.

TO fight with this disorder, its highly recommended to visit the DOCTOR.
