Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Obsessive compulsive disorder is a common mental health problem. The usual treatments are antidepressant medication, behaviour therapy, or both. Symptoms can often be much improved with treatment. What is obsessive compulsive disorder? Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a condition where you have recurring obsessions, compulsions, or both. Obsessions These are unpleasant thoughts, images, or urges that keep coming into your mind. Obsessions are not simply worries about your life problems. Common obsessions include: fears about contamination with dirt, germs, etc. worries about doors being unlocked, fires left on, causing harm to someone, etc. intrusive thoughts or images of swearing, blasphemy, sex, someone being harmed, etc. fear of making a mistake or behaving badly. a need for exactness in how you order or arrange things. These are just examples. Obsessions can be about all sorts of things. Obsessive thoughts can make you feel very anxious or disgusted. You normally try to ignore or suppress obsessive thoughts. For example, you may try to think other thoughts to 'neutralise' the obsession. Compulsions These are thoughts or actions that you feel you must do or repeat. Usually the compulsive act is in response to an obsession. A compulsion is a way of trying to deal with the distress or anxiety caused by an obsession.

DIY self diagnosis Want to know more Personal experiences What is it? This disorder can be looked at in two parts; obsessions - these are repetitive, obtrusive, unwanted thoughts that are experienced and result in unreasonable fears, and compulsions - acts or rituals carried out in response to fears generated by obsessions. The classic OCD condition is that of compulsive hand washing in response to an irrational fear of germs/contamination. Sufferers of this disorder feel less anxious once they have carried out a compulsion. It is possible to experience obsessive thoughts only and not have the desire to carry out a compulsion. Examples of compulsions are excessive cleaning, counting, checking, measuring, and repeating tasks or actions. Trichotillomania (compulsive hair-pulling) may also be classified under the general umbrella of OCD. Examples of obsessions are worrying excessively about death, germs, illness - usually AIDS, cancer, etc. (this can also be classified as an 'Illness phobia',) having undesirable sexual thoughts, fearing causing harm to others.

The aims of these factsheets are to provide practical, up-to-date information about mental health problems (emotional, behavioural and psychiatric disorders) that can affect children and young people. This factsheet looks at the reasons behind why some young people may harm themselves, and offers practical advice about how to cope with this problem. Introduction What is deliberate self harm? Deliberate self-harm is a term used when someone injures or harms themselves on purpose. Common examples include `overdosing' (self-poisoning), hitting, cutting or burning oneself, pulling hair or picking skin, or self-strangulation. It can also include taking illegal drugs and excessive amounts of alcohol. Self-harm is always a sign of something being seriously wrong. Why do young people harm themselves?

Additional resources What is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? Back to the top What are the symptoms of OCD? Not all obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours are symptoms of a mental health problem. Most of us have worries, doubts and superstitious beliefs. It is only when your thoughts and behaviour make no sense, cause distress or become excessive that you may want to look for help. OCD symptoms can occur at any stage of your life. If you suffer from OCD you may also feel anxious and depressed, and may believe you are the only one with such irrational and obsessive thoughts. Unfortunately, such feelings may make you afraid to tell anyone or ask for help - which will only delay diagnosis and treatment. Having OCD should not be seen as a sign of weakness, nor should you feel you are lacking in will power because you are unable to stop these thoughts and behaviours. Symptoms of OCD are also seen in other brain disorders such as Tourette's syndrome.

Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation What Is OCD? If you or someone you care about has been diagnosed with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), you may feel you are the only person facing the difficulties of this illness. But you are not alone. In the United States, 1 in 50 adults currently has OCD, and twice that many have had it at some point in their lives. Fortunately, very effective treatments for OCD are now available to help you regain a more satisfying life. Here are answers to the most commonly asked questions about OCD. What Is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder? Worries, doubts, superstitious beliefs all are common in everyday life. However, when they become so excessive such as hours of hand washing or make no sense at all such as driving around and around the block to check that an accident didn't occur then a diagnosis of OCD is made. In OCD, it is as though the brain gets stuck on a particular thought or urge and just can't let go. People with OCD often say the symptoms feel like a case of mental hiccups that won't go away. OCD is a medical brain disorder that causes problems in information processing. It is not your fault or the result of a "weak" or unstable personality. Before the arrival of modern medications and cognitive behavior therapy, OCD was generally thought to be untreatable. Most people with OCD continued to suffer, despite years of ineffective psychotherapy. Today, luckily, treatment can help most people with OCD. Although OCD is usually completely curable only in some individuals, most people achieve meaningful and long-term symptom relief with comprehensive treatment.

She wants to stop, but her hands just don't feel clean enough and she can't make herself turn off the water. Sometimes she scrubs her hands until they are red and raw. After eating, she feels she has to wash again. Because she spends so much time washing, Sarah has to rush to get to school on time.

KidsHealth Teens Your Mind Mental Health You probably have weeks when you feel like you do the same thing day after day. You wake up, go to school, go to sports practice, go to your part-time job, go home, eat dinner, do homework, and go to bed. Maybe it feels like an endless cycle sometimes, but then an upcoming concert or visit to a college campus looms on the horizon and you start to enjoy the break in your routine. Some teens, though, find that their lives are a series of endless routines, filled with behaviors they feel compelled to repeat again and again. For teens who experience obsessive-compulsive disorder, it's not boredom that causes that repetitive feeling, but fears and anxieties they can't control. What Is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder? Every kid, teen, and adult has experienced anxiety, fear, or worry at some time - it's completely normal to worry about school, your friends, what people think of you, your appearance , and tons of other stuff. But some teens and kids - about 1 million in the United States - experience obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), an anxiety disorder that causes the brain to get stuck on a thought or urge or to behave in a repetitive way. Teens with OCD feel they don't have control over their thoughts or fears and it may cause them to think about them repeatedly. These thoughts or behaviors that need to be repeated may interfere with a teen's life and may cause the teen to feel extremely embarrassed or ashamed. Teens with OCD often experience two parts of the disorder: obsessions and compulsions.

Phobias and Other Anxiety Separation anxiety - it's not just for doggies anymore. Cats have the ability to be just as destructive and annoying as dogs, in this regard. Well, maybe not AS annoying. Separation anxiety is demonstrated by several things, centered on how the cat acts when you leave, when you're gone, and when you return. Here, your cat is a dog. You try to leave, and she runs to the door, crying, climbing at the wall, saying take me too!! She tries to sneak out the door and run with you to work. When you're gone, she cries, and destroys things she never does when you're around. And when you return, it's the biggest event of the world - all is right, because you are home!! Flattering, but...not preferable. Your cat must be retrained, because it's causing her extreme stress every time you leave, she's destroying things, and you may not always be able to successfully chase her when she sneaks out. What can you do? The first task is for the owner. Change *your* routine. We don't realize it, but we do the exact same things again and again every day. Your cat will figure out that when you put on shoes, turn off the TV, pick up your briefcase and grab your keys, you're on the way out. So, instead, do things out of order. Put your keys in your pocket a half hour before you're ready to leave. Put on your shoes right away after showering. When you aren't leaving, go put on your shoes, pick up your keys and bag - and walk back to the couch and sit down. This will help to break her of the patterned response.
