Presentation transcript:

The frequent upsetting thoughts are called obsessions. To try to control them, a person will feel an overwhelming urge to repeat certain rituals or behaviors called compulsions. People with OCD can't control these obsessions and compulsions. For many people, OCD starts during childhood or the teen years. Most people are diagnosed by about age 19. Symptoms of OCD may come and go and be better or worse at different times. What are the signs and symptoms of OCD? People with OCD generally: Have repeated thoughts or images about many different things, such as fear of germs, dirt, or intruders; acts of violence; hurting loved ones; sexual acts; conflicts with religious beliefs; or being overly tidy Do the same rituals over and over such as washing hands, locking and unlocking doors, counting, keeping unneeded items, or repeating the same steps again and again Can't control the unwanted thoughts and behaviors Don't get pleasure when performing the behaviors or rituals, but get brief relief from the anxiety the thoughts cause Spend at least 1 hour a day on the thoughts and rituals, which cause distress and get in the way of daily life. ANXIETY DISORDER : Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) People become trapped in an endless cycles of repetitive thoughts and behaviors. People with OCD are plagued by recurring and distressing OBSESSIONS (thoughts, fears, or images) they cannot control ANXIETY/NERVOUSNESS an urgent need to perform COMPULSIONS (certain rituals or routines) to prevent the obsessive thoughts or make them go away (which are intended to relieve anxiety) o Although the ritual may temporarily alleviate anxiety, the person must perform the ritual again when the obsessive thoughts return. o This OCD cycle can progress to the point of taking up hours of the person's day and significantly interfering with normal activities. o People with OCD may be aware that their obsessions and compulsions are senseless or unrealistic, but they cannot stop them.

Psychotherapy. A type of psychotherapy called cognitive behavior therapy is especially useful for treating OCD. It teaches a person different ways of thinking, behaving, and reacting to situations that help him or her feel less anxious or fearful without having obsessive thoughts or acting compulsively. One type of therapy called exposure and response prevention is especially helpful in reducing compulsive behaviors in OCD. Medication. Doctors also may prescribe medication to help treat OCD. The most commonly prescribed medications for OCD are anti-anxiety medications and antidepressants. Anti-anxiety medications are powerful and there are different types. Many types begin working right away, but they generally should not be taken for long periods. Antidepressants are used to treat depression, but they are also particularly helpful for OCD, probably more so than anti-anxiety medications. They may take several weeks—10 to 12 weeks for some—to start working. Some of these medications may cause side effects such as headache, nausea, or difficulty sleeping. These side effects are usually not a problem for most people, especially if the dose starts off low and is increased slowly over time. Talk to your doctor about any side effects you may have. Common OBSESSIONS include:  Fear of …. o dirt or contamination by germs. o causing harm to another. o making a mistake. o being embarrassed or behaving in a socially unacceptable manner. o thinking evil or sinful thoughts.  Need for order, symmetry, or exactness.  Excessive doubt and the need for constant reassurance. Common COMPULSIONS include: Repeatedly bathing, showering, or washing hands. Refusing to shake hands or touch doorknobs. Repeatedly checking things, such as locks or stoves. Constant counting, mentally or aloud, while performing routine tasks. Constantly arranging things in a certain way. Eating foods in a specific order. Being stuck on words, images or thoughts, usually disturbing, that won't go away and can interfere with sleep. Repeating specific words, phrases, or prayers. Needing to perform tasks a certain number of times. Collecting or hoarding items with no apparent value.

What are some common obsessions? The following are some common obsessions: Fear of dirt or germs Disgust with bodily waste or fluids Concern with order, symmetry (balance) and exactness Worry that a task has been done poorly, even when the person knows this is not true Fear of thinking evil or sinful thoughts Thinking about certain sounds, images, words or numbers all the time Need for constant reassurance Fear of harming a family member or friend What are some common compulsions? The following are some common compulsions: Cleaning and grooming, such as washing hands, showering or brushing teeth over and over again Checking drawers, door locks and appliances to be sure they are shut, locked or turned off Repeating actions, such as going in and out of a door, sitting down and getting up from a chair, or touching certain objects several times Ordering and arranging items in certain ways Counting to a certain number, over and over Saving newspapers, mail or containers when they are no longer needed Seeking constant reassurance and approval OCD Treatments Most effective approach: Medicine + Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Cognitive behavioral therapy Cognitive behavioral therapy : Goal: to teach people with OCD to confront their fears and reduce anxiety without performing the ritual behaviors (called exposure and response prevention therapy).  Therapy also focuses on reducing the exaggerated or catastrophic thinking that often occurs in people with OCD. Medication therapy Medication therapy : Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants like Paxil, Prozac or Zoloft. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) In severe cases of OCD and in people who do not respond to medical and behavioral therapy, ECT may be used to treat the disorder.  During ECT, electrodes are attached to the patient's head and a series of electric shocks are delivered to the brain, which induce seizures. The seizures cause the release of neurotransmitters in the brain.
