In recent decades, the problem of obsessions has become acute among people who make up modern society, which gradually weaken the psyche and encourage people to take various kinds of actions. Doctors have called this disease obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD for short. From the point of view of science, OCD is a mental disorder in which a patient has various obsessive thoughts, which are called obsessions, prompting him to compulsions, that is, various kinds of actions. Obsessive-compulsive disorder has several main forms.
Forms of OCD.
As noted above, OCD has several forms that differ in the type of disease development.:
1. Chronic
2. Progressive
3. Episodic.
General information about the disease.
The disease develops over a long period of time, usually from ten to thirty years. At the same time, according to statistics, the first visit to the doctor occurs between the ages of twenty and twenty-five. As the disease develops, the patient develops thoughts and ideas that push him to commit various sometimes illogical and thoughtless actions, with the help of which the patient hopes to get rid of these ideas.
Such ideas often exclude the patient from society.
It has also been found that the majority of OCD patients have high intelligence scores.
Symptoms of the disease. Portrait of the patient
The symptoms of this disease are usually considered:
1. Obsessive thoughts that constantly repeat themselves;
2. Increased anxiety or even intense fear;
3. Frequently repeated actions, the purpose of which is to get rid of obsessions. Over time, these actions turn into a kind of rituals that help the patient ward off recurring thoughts and ideas in his mind.
Thus, a person who suffers from OCD is a hypochondriac person who is calm most of the time, but is capable of rare decisive actions. It often feels like a sudden change of mood.
The most common obsessions in OCD patients.
Most obsessions are stereotypical thoughts and images that one way or another constantly arise in the patient's mind. Among the most frequent obsessions, doctors usually include:
1. The desire for symmetry. People who have the disease in this way try to arrange all objects in the surrounding space as symmetrically as possible. The lack of symmetry in the environment can cause stress and aggression in the patient.
2. Fear of various microbes and the possibility of infection by them. Patients with this form of the disease try to keep themselves and their surroundings as clean as possible for fear of infection.
3. Fear of threats and physical violence.
4. Sexual images and fantasies. Most OCD patients with this symptom try to make their sexual fantasies come true.
