OCD Symptoms
OCD is a mental disorder that affects millions of people every year. The condition is characterized by obsessive thoughts and compulsive behavior. Symptoms may include excessive hand-washing or frequent visits to check that the door is locked.
The unwanted thoughts (obsessions) recur and cause distinctive behavior (compulsions) such as frequent hand-washing or brushing of teeth, showering etc. Sufferers are usually aware that their behavior is abnormal, but find it difficult to stop.
Obsessions tend to emerge from impulses, images or ideas. These notions repeatedly recur in the person's mind. The patient often feels uneasy when the thoughts emerge, yet they find it difficult to stop the actions or thoughts. Often the patient will worry about contaminations, such as through chemicals, germs, dirt etc and will fear that they will acquire a serious disease, e.g. AIDS. They often feel concerned about protecting objects, e.g. clothing, groceries, tools, etc, and will arrange items in perfect order.
Other symptoms may include recurring visions of death or other horrible events. The patient may find it difficult to accept sexual thoughts or religious thinking. They may even obsess over natural disasters, which may cause them to worry about floods, fire etc. |
