What is OCD?

OCD stands for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and the patient who suffers from it typically over reacts or gets himself involved in some task. To discuss what OCD is, the condition of the person must be clearly differentiated from other disorders or anxiety and the tension that could occur in his life. More often the person who suffers from this disorder is likely to expose intense perfectionism or infatuation.

It becomes essential that the patient must be rightly diagnosed by the physician either to have or not have this disorder which could be done based on his compulsive actions.

What is OCD – The Obsessions

Some of the uncontrollable impulses or obsessions of the patients who suffer from this disorder include:

  • Needless fear of germs and dirt.

  • Fear of causing harm to others or oneself.

  • Blindly following the religious ideas.

  • Fear that they could miss the things they need.

  • Superstitions

  • Maintaining an order in every little thing

  • Sexual ideas and images that occur from nowhere.

What is OCD – The Compulsions

Compulsions are nothing but the repeated patterns in the behavior. The patient suffering from this disorder finds it extremely hard to keep him from doing things that are unacceptable and unnecessary. Usually such compulsive behavior is mainly due to the fact that they attempt to overcome their obsession this way.

Some of the most common compulsions include:

  • Repetition of counting

  • Washing hands frequently

  • Needless double checking

  • Needless disinfecting or cleaning

  • Hesitation to touch things

  • Ordering or arranging

  • Hoarding

It is advised that a thoroughly qualified physician is sought in order to have a neat diagnosis of the people who are likely to have this disorder.
