Extractions: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a type of anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorder is the experience of prolonged, excessive worry about circumstances in one's life. OCD is characterized by distressing repetitive thoughts, impulses or images that are intense, frightening, absurd, or unusual. These thoughts are followed by ritualized actions that are usually bizarre and irrational. These ritual actions, known as compulsions, help reduce anxiety caused by the individual's obsessive thoughts. Often described as the "disease of doubt," the sufferer usually knows the obsessive thoughts and compulsions are irrational but, on another level, fears they may be true. Description Almost one out of every 40 people will suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder at some time in their lives. The condition is two to three times more common than either schizophrenia or manic depression, and strikes men and women of every ethnic group, age and social level. Because the symptoms are so distressing, sufferers often hide their fears and rituals but cannot avoid acting on them. OCD sufferers are often unable to decide if their fears are realistic and need to be acted upon. Most people with obsessive-compulsive disorder have both obsessions and compulsions, but occasionally a person will have just one or the other. The degree to which this condition can interfere with daily living also varies. Some people are barely bothered, while others find the obsessions and compulsions to be profoundly traumatic and spend much time each day in compulsive actions.

If you are such a person, this site can help you get the information and resources you need to learn how to tame this anxiety and enjoy your life. You may already know that these kinds of problems are called "anxiety disorders." Most of the people I work with dislike this name, and I don't care much for it either. But it's so widely used that we're stuck with it, and so I'll use it here. The name's not important. What's important is learning how to manage your anxiety so that it doesn't disrupt your life. For those of you who may have suffered a long time, and are feeling pretty hopeless and pessimistic about it, let me just mention that these problems are:

WSAVA 2001 - Feline Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders
Stereotypies and obsessivecompulsive disorders are currently used obsessive-compulsive disorder can manifest itself as an eating disorder.
http://www.vin.com/VINDBPub/SearchPB/Proceedings/PR05000/PR00026.htm

Extractions: Feline Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders Diane Frank Canada In veterinary medicine, the term stereotypy has been used traditionally to define behaviours that are repetitive, constant, and appear to serve no obvious purpose. Stereotypies and obsessive-compulsive disorders are currently used interchangeably in the behavioural literature by some authors, whereas others refer to them as stereotypies, and finally, a few do not allude to either term. Considerable discussion occurs when the question can animals obsess? is raised. It appears that animals perceive concern and anxiety, thus it is possible that they can obsess. Separate from the obsession issue is the issue of relative intensity. Is the behaviour simply excessive or is it a manifestation of an obsessive-compulsive disorder? It is also possible that an excessive behaviour and an obsessive-compulsive behaviour are merely two points on a blurry continuum. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is probably responsible for some unknown proportion of companion animal behavioural conditions. The role of stress (actual or perceived) has largely been ignored in veterinary medicine. Obsessive-compulsive behaviours interfere with the animals ability to function in its social environment. A competing stimulus may change or abort the behaviour but time spent in the activity gradually increases. The abnormal behaviour gradually displaces normal behaviour and the actual behaviours change in qualitative features (intensity profile). Behaviours evinced as a result of feline stress or anxiety include changes in appetite (decrease or pica), changes in grooming, changes in elimination (spraying and non-spraying marking), changes in social interactions (rubbing, bunting, vocal communication), and changes in activity (degree and location). Some examples of obsessive-compulsive disorders in cats listed in the literature include over-grooming, barbering, feline hyperesthesia, self-mutilation, tail chasing, pica, wool and fabric chewing, and wool sucking. Not all authors agree that these conditions are truly obsessive-compulsive disorders.
