According to the most recent data, the lifetime prevalence for anxiety disorders as a whole in adults is about 25%; the frequency in children is unknown, but felt to be significantly underreported and under-diagnosed. More specifically Social Anxiety Disorder has a lifetime risk of 17%, while Panic Disorder occurs in approximately 1-3% of the adult population. Related Articles Attention Deficit Disorder Depression Internet Links About Pediatrics ADHD Mental Health Information for Children Symptoms of Anxiety Disorders Anxiety is a subjective sense of worry, apprehension, fear and distress. Often it is normal to have these sensations on occasion, and so it is important to distinguish between normal levels of anxiety and unhealthy or pathologic levels of anxiety. The subjective experience of anxiety typically has two components: physical sensations (e.g., headache, nausea, sweating) and the emotions of nervousness and fear. Anxiety disorders, when severe, can affect a child's thinking, decision-making ability, perceptions of the environment, learning and concentration. It raises blood pressure and heart rate, and can cause a multitude of bodily complaints, such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, ulcers, diarrhea, tingling, weakness, and shortness of breath, among other things.

R ecent advances in the understanding of obsessive-compulsive disorder have highlighted the role of the family physician in the management of this condition. At one time considered rare, obsessive-compulsive disorder is now recognized as relatively common, exceeding the lifetime prevalence of more visible disorders such as schizophrenia. Consequently, most family physicians can expect to see patients with this disorder in their practices. Despite its earlier reputation as a disorder highly resistant to treatment, a number of effective treatment approaches now exist for obsessive-compulsive disorder. Diagnostic Criteria Typical obsessional themes include thoughts of contamination by dirt or germs, worries that the doors are unlocked or the stove has been left on, and intrusive images of family members being injured or killed.

Individuals with OCPD are conscientious, scrupulous, and inflexible about morality, ethics, or values. They may force both themselves and others to follow rigid moral principles and very high standards of performance. They are inclined to be severely self-critical. These individuals are deferential to authority and rules. They insist on literal compliance, regardless of circumstances (DSM-IV, 1994, pp. 669-670). The ICD-10 has an anankastic personality disorder characterized by doubts, perfectionism, conscientiousness, checking and preoccupation with details, stubbornness, caution and rigidity. There may be insistent and unwelcome thoughts or impulses that do not attain the severity of an obsessive-compulsive disorder. These individuals are also inclined to experience undue preoccupation with productivity to the exclusion of interpersonal relationships; they engage in pedantry and strict adherence to social conventions; they are likely to insist that others do things exactly the way they do them (ICD-I0, 1994, pp. 231-232).

@import "../styles/advanced.css"; Skip navigation Drug Treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a common psychiatric condition with a prevalence of up to 1% of adults, in which the patient engages in repetitive actions (compulsions, e.g. hand washing) or trains of thought (obsessions, e.g. counting rituals) which he knows are irrational but which, if he stops, lead to incapacitating anxiety. Standard first line psychiatric treatment is either clomipramine (an older tricylic antidepressant with strong effects on the neurotransmitter serotonin) or one of the newer specific serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs). A recent meta-analysis [1] attempts a systematic review of the evidence for this approach. Systematic review of RCTs Since OCD is a chronic, relapsing and remitting condition, where treatment effects are generally modest, the review is rightly restricted to randomised controlled trials. The authors describe a strategy of computer and manual searching to identify as many as possible, and found as many as 53. Thirty-six were admitted into the analysis, and the reason for each exclusion is described clearly (e.g. "diagnostic criteria not strictly enforced" ( ! )).

It expresses fascination for a person or object; it is the name of a well-known fragrance for men and women. All of which seems to suggest that obsession is an acceptable, even a desirable sensation. But for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, obsession creates a maze of persistent, unwanted thoughts. Those thoughts lead them to act out rituals (compulsions), sometimes for hours a day Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is any anxiety disorder - one of a group of medical disorders which affects the thoughts, behaviour, emotions and sensations. Collectively, these disorders are among the most common of mental health problems. It is estimated that 1 in 10 people suffers from an anxiety disorder sometime in their life. While a complete cure for OCD is rare, specialized treatment can bring many people long-term relief from their symptoms. Education is the first important step in removing the social stigma and lack of knowledge which keep people from looking for medical and other professional help.

Diagnostic Criteria for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Therapy and the Role of Clinical Diagnostic Criteria In my own face-to-face and online therapy practice , I do not treat clients as manifestations of mental illnesses in need of medical fixing. No one is merely a case of bipolar disorder , an obsessive-compulsive , or a paranoid schizophrenic . In my view, formal diagnostic categories hold some value in terms of contextual information, but they play a much less important role than the specific personal circumstances of a given client. If you are a client, you are first and foremost a specific, unique individual. Nonetheless, in my experience of working with clients who have received formal psychiatric diagnoses from other mental health professionals, I have often found that clients feel they lack adequate information about what these diagnostic labels actually mean. The entries in this section aim to provide the basic facts about each of several diagnostic labels. Please note that the diagnostic information provided here is for educational purposes only and cannot replace the advice of a qualified mental health professional.
