Extractions: @import "includes/nps.css"; skip links skip to submenu site information Join us ... contact 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.

Extractions: About this factsheet This is one in a series of factsheets for parents, teachers and young people entitled Mental Health and Growing Up . 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?
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), A Factsheet From The Mental Health Foundati
Information by the Mental Health Foundation about obsessive compulsive disorder.
http://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/html/content/ocd.cfm

Extractions: Back to the top 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.

http://www.ocfoundation.org/ocf1010a.htm

Extractions: Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation 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. 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.

Extractions: Some kids like to wash their hands, but Sarah does it too much. 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. At school, she tries not to touch doorknobs or handrails, worrying that if she does she may catch a serious disease. Sometimes, Sarah gets behind in her classwork because she feels that she needs to keep checking it over and over. During a quiz or test Sarah checks and rechecks every answer and erases anything that isn't perfectly straight or neat. Sometimes she erases so hard it tears the paper, but she can't help it. Sarah gets a bad feeling that if everything isn't exactly right, something terrible may happen. All this worrying, checking, and fixing takes so long that Sarah hardly ever finishes the test before time is up. So even though she knows the work, she often gets an incomplete or even fails. Sarah tries so hard to hide her habits. She worries that she might be going crazy or that people would think she's weird if they knew what she was doing. Sarah knows that the time she spends washing and checking could be spent having fun with friends or doing her schoolwork, but she can't seem to stop herself. That's because Sarah has

http://kidshealth.org/teen/your_mind/mental_health/ocd.html

Extractions: 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.
Scared
Discusses separation anxiety, thunderstorm anxiety and obsessivecompulsive disorder.
http://www.geocities.com/harbaugh4/scared.html

Extractions: 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!! 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.
