What is OCD and how do you know you suffer?

I know some people with OCD and let me tell you they're fantastic; the smartest, most honest and direct people I've had the pleasure of seeing. At times, the constant struggle they have to calm down and sit down in their brains seems rude or vulgar.

EXPLAINING, TREAKERS AND SYMPTOMS

In English, the name itself explains the disorder, but medical adaptation in English is to be desired. So first I want to explain literally what it means.

Obsessive Having a constant, unbroken feeling

Compulsive To have a feeling that seems impregnable, unabated

Disorder ) Disorders

OCD is a widely heterogenous disorder consisting of a series of symptoms, so it continues to be difficult study and objective diagnosis, so that's based on brain scanners or laboratory tests, and not that half target by doctors with their list.

However, researchers have found 5 main dimensions:

1. Feeling responsible when someone gets hurt; thinking it's your fault or you could have prevented it;

2. Being obsessed with symmetry, order and rituals regarding numbers;

3. Being obsessed with purity, bathing and cleaning rituals;

4. The feeling abhors your thoughts about violence, sex, and religion;

5. The collections of many, to have or to make collections.

It's too hard to live with these choices above. To be diagnosed with OCD is not enough to have one or two of them and ever experience them. In itself, this disorder changes your life completely, takes time in which obsessions can last 11 hours in a row, and requires constant attention.

CENTURY  

1. Genetic 

Studies show genetic factors are responsible for between 27 and 47% of the cases. So if someone in the family has an OCD, there's a chance of passing it to future generations.

2. Environment 

The remaining 53 to 73% of the cases are believed to be caused by the environment. These include major and stressful changes in everydayness. It is thought that the OCD is progressive as it appears, so it gradually grows with time. Hence, it is important to treat as soon as possible when the disorder is smaller. The good news is that only 2.3% of people with the OCD have the OCD forever. The rest are thought to be tamed with time until extinction.

TRAJATIONS

1. Medications (harmacological therapy) 

It is thought that the seratonia, a neurotransmitter known and as 5 -HT, it affects the OCD. At the same time, though, the seratonia is involved in a number of other psychological disorders and affects certain brain structures. Although the link between the seratone and the OCD continues to be hypothetical, commercial drugs attack this very system. Unfortunately, only 1/3 of the people with the OCD help, the other indicator that the seratone only functions.

There have been suggestions for other neurotransmitters, such as glucose and dopamine. For now, drugs that charge these neurotransmitters and their systems are less preferred by doctors and patients.

2. Mobbing 

The only psychological treatment that has had empirical support (with evidence, not just theory) is CBT two-way therapy: exposure and prevention of reaction.

Exploration: When the person is constantly exposed to a long - term stimulus that causes anxiety or the drive to perform the fixed rituals.

Prevention of reaction: When a person forbids himself from performing his obsessions.

The purpose of this therapy is to let those with the OCD know that their obsessions or anxiety does not last forever and that the conscious avoidment they try to make their obsessions every day is not necessary.

In front of them, it seems that CBT is more efficient than drugs when given separately. If given together, the effect of reducing symptoms increases.

For you with the OCD:

Help yourself is my primary suggestion for any encounter with similar disorders.

Especially for those with the OCD I would suggest:

1. Take pictures or videos to anything that provokes your obsessions

Take pictures, for example, of the closed door or of the burning stove. When you remember the door during the day, look at the picture and talk to yourself that it's just an obsession and everything is fine.

2. Plan a time section to worry

This may sound strange, but every day you spend an eight-eight-and-a-thirty time, where you'd let yourself think about everything that comes to you without crushing or judging yourself. When the time is over, take a few deep breaths and restore your routine.

3. Relax.

Hard, but not impossible. Meditate, make yoga, simple breathing techniques, or simply take long baths. It's important to help your brain to “meets” for a little bit as long as it can.

4. Eat Healthful

During the day, eat a little and often without blood sugar movements. Especially chocolate, caffeine, or alcohol can rapidly lift your sugar, increase your hyperactivity, and cause panic attacks.

5. Do Sports

Deal with a sport or class at a gym that requires your attention, for example. Rifle or dancing, which requires focus on steps and music by separating you from your constant thoughts.

Disregard from the customs behind you. As attractive as homesickness may be, give yourself the luxury of growing each day and reaching your infinite potential.
