What is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)?
OCD is a psychological disorder in which people experience recurring, unwanted thoughts, ideas, or feelings (obsessions). They feel compelled to perform something repeatedly to get rid of the thoughts (compulsions). Repetitive behaviors like hand washing, cleaning and checking on objects, and other psychological acts and activities are a persistent mark of the obsessive-compulsive disorder. Our OCD psychiatrist in Sugarland is here to help.
Many individuals who do not have OCD also experience upsetting thoughts or repetitive activities. However, OCD patients have inflexible actions and intrusive, recurring thoughts. When the behaviors are not carried out, they frequently generate a tremendous amount of distress, which is frequently accompanied by a particular fear of terrible consequences. Many OCD sufferers are caught in a cycle of recurrent obsessions and compulsions.
OCD Obsessions:
People who have OCD experience distressing and repeated cravings that are beyond their control. Obsessions are persistent thoughts, impulses, or images that bring on unpleasant feelings like fear, revulsion, or worry. Many OCD patients are aware of psychotherapy that these thoughts and behaviors are excessive or irrational and are the result of their minds. However, logic or reasoning is unable to alleviate the discomfort brought on by these intrusive thoughts.
Examples of typical obsessional thinking topics:
Fear of misplacing or ignoring something crucial
The Fear of germs or dirt
Fear of engaging in violence or experiencing damage (to self or loved ones)
Extreme anxiety about symmetry, accuracy, or order
Fear of environmental or human contamination
Heightened worry that something is incomplete
OCD Compulsions
People with OCD use certain behaviors, habits, or routines to manage their obsessions and anxieties. They keep doing it repeatedly. They don’t like and don’t want to engage in these obsessive activities. However, they feel that their anxiety will get worse if they don’t follow along. But compulsions are just a temporary solution. The compulsions quickly recur in response to the obsessions. This loop causes this cycle of worry.
Compulsions involve excessive responses in ways that are directly connected to an obsession or wholly unrelated behaviors. In the worst cases, a day could be filled with repeated routines, making it hard to go about your daily routine.
Examples of compulsions:
Placing or arranging objects in a specific order
Repeated cleaning of household items
Checking doors, switches, stove, locks, etc, repeatedly
Excessive hand washing, bathing, or using the restroom
Avoiding specific individuals, places, or circumstances that make their obsessions and/or compulsions worse
Collecting goods that are worthless (in terms of intrinsic value)
Refusing to shake hands or touch items
People with OCD may also have tics, which include quick, abrupt, and repeated motions or behaviors like:
Blinking their eyes
Jerking their head
Sniffling their nose or clearing their throat
