    Extractions: Publishing Guidelines Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder We're all familiar with ritual games played in childhood, such as avoiding cracks in sidewalks, or repeating a phrase over and over. For some people, however, these childhood games have developed into daily rituals that overwhelm and interfere with their lives. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is an illness in which people suffer from repeated, intrusive thoughts that cause extreme anxiety. These thoughts, called obsessions, often arise out of fear that something terrible may happen to themselves or a loved one. These obsessive thoughts often lead to compulsions, rituals or routines that must be completed to ensure that safety.

    Extractions: People with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) suffer intensely from recurrent unwanted thoughts (obsessions) or rituals (compulsions), which they feel they cannot control. Rituals such as handwashing, counting, checking, or cleaning are often performed in hope of preventing, obsessive thoughts or making them go away. Performing these rituals, however, provides only temporary relief, and not performing them markedly increases anxiety. Left untreated obsessions and the need to perform rituals can take over a person's life. OCD is often a chronic, relapsing illness. Fortunately, through research supported by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), effective treatments have been developed to help people with OCD.

    Extractions: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is currently classified as an anxiety disorder in DSM-IV (American Psychiatric Association, 1994).  The essential features of OCD are recurrent obsessions , and/or repetitive behaviors or compulsions , which are severe enough to cause distress, and significantly interfere with daily activities and job functioning, due to the inordinate amount of time they take. The most common obsessions in OCD patients concern contamination and symmetry. The most common compulsions are washing and cleaning, hoarding, checking, and counting. Performance of compulsions is usually associated with temporary relief of anxiety. Epidemiologic studies of OCD document a lifetime prevalence rate of about 2-3%.  OCD occurs much more frequently than was originally thought. Very little is known about the pathogenesis of the disorder. Several studies suggest a genetic component in the etiology of OCD. In addition, the selective response of the illness to treatment with serotonin reuptake inhibiting agents has led to the hypothesis that OCD may be associated with dysregulation of serotonergic neurotransmission. Although serotonin reuptake inhibitors are clearly the first-line pharmacotherapy for OCD, complete relief of symptoms is rare during treatment with these medications, and 30-40% of patients remain clinically unchanged. Augmentation of serotonin reuptake inhibitor treatment with dopamine antagonists appears to be useful for a subset of OCD patients, thus implicating involvement of dopaminergic pathways as well in the illness.

    Extractions: (posted by Hopkins Technology) Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), one of the anxiety disorders, is a potentially disabling condition that can persist throughout a person's life. The individual who suffers from OCD becomes trapped in a pattern of repetitive thoughts and behaviors that are senseless and distressing but extremely difficult to overcome. OCD occurs in a spectrum from mild to severe, but if severe and left untreated, can destroy a person's capacity to function at work, at school, or even in the home. The following three case histories are typical for those who suffer from obsessive-compulsive disordera disorder that can be effectively treated. Isobel is intelligent, but she is failing her first period class in biology because she is either late to class or absent. She gets up at five o'clock, hoping to get to school on time. The next three hours are spent taking a long shower followed by changing clothes repeatedly until it "feels right." She finally packs and repacks her books until they are just right, opens the front door and prepares to walk down the front steps. She goes through a ritual of pausing on each step for a particular length of time. Even though she recognizes her thoughts and behaviors are senseless, she feels compelled to complete her rituals. Once she has completed these rituals, she makes a mad dash for school and arrives when first period is almost over. Meredith's pregnancy was a time of joyous anticipation. If she had moments of trepidation about taking care of a new baby, these times passed quickly. She and her husband proudly brought a beautiful, perfect baby boy home from the hospital. Meredith bathed and fed the baby, comforted him when he was restless, and became a competent young mother. Then the obsessional thoughts began; she feared that she might harm her child. Over and over again she imagined herself stabbing the baby. She busied herself around the house, tried to think of other things, but the distressing thought persisted. She became terrified to use the kitchen knives or her sewing scissors. She knew she did not want to harm her child. Why did she have these distressing, alien thoughts?

Obsessions are recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses or images that cause marked anxiety or distress. A sufferer recognises the obsessions are the products of his or her mind, and tries to suppress them or to neutralise them with some other thought or action. Compulsions are repetitive behaviours or mental acts a sufferer feels driven to perform in response to an obsession in order to reduce distress or prevent a dreaded event or situation. They are either completely inappropriate or clearly excessive. What sort of compulsions do people suffer from?

    Extractions: O bsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), usually begins in adolescence or young adulthood and is seen in as many as 1 in 200 children and adolescents. OCD is characterized by recurrent obsessions and/or compulsions that are intense enough to cause severe discomfort. Obsessions are recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images that are unwanted and cause marked anxiety or distress. Frequently, they are unrealistic or irrational. They are not simply excessive worries about real-life problems or preoccupations. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or rituals (like hand washing, hoarding, keeping things in order, checking something over and over) or mental acts (like counting, repeating words silently, avoiding). In OCD, the obsessions or compulsions cause significant anxiety or distress, or they interfere with the child's normal routine, academic functioning, social activities, or relationships. The obsessive thoughts may vary with the age of the child and may change over time. A younger child with OCD may fear that harm will occur to himself or a family member, for example an intruder entering an unlocked door or window. The child may compulsively check all the doors and windows of his home after his parents are asleep in an attempt to relieve anxiety. The child may then fear that he may have accidentally unlocked a door or window while last checking and locking, and then must compulsively check again.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is the fourth most common neurobiological illness with one in forty adults and one in two hundred children having a lifetime occurrence. OCD is characterized by recurrent, disturbing thoughts (obsessions) and/or repetitive, ritualistic behaviors that the individual feels compelled to perform (compulsions). While individuals with OCD recognize these symptoms as irrational, they have little control over them. Typical Obsessions Typical Compulsions Etiology (cause) of OCD OCD is believed to be a neurobiological illness that affects specific neural pathways in the brain using the neurotransmitter serotonin. Currently there is significant research that is trying to pinpoint the pathways and neurobiological mechanisms involved. One of the research tools which holds significant promise for characterizing the OCD pathway is functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

    Extractions: Obsessive-compulsive disorder is an anxiety disorder in which a person has an unreasonable thought, fear, or worry that he/she tries to manage by performing a ritual activity to reduce the anxiety. Frequently occurring disturbing thoughts or images are called obsessions, and the repeated rituals performed to try to prevent or dispel them are called compulsions. During the normal growth and developmental processes of children and adolescents, rituals and obsessive thoughts normally occur with a purpose and focus based on age. Preschool children often use rituals and routines around mealtimes, bath, and bedtime to help them stabilize their expectations and understanding of their world. School-aged children normally develop group rituals as they learn to play games, team sports, and recite rhymes. Older children and teens begin to collect objects and develop hobbies. These rituals help individuals to socialize and learn to master anxiety. An individual with OCD has obsessive thoughts that are unwanted and related to fears (such as a fear of touching dirty objects) and uses compulsive rituals to control the fears (such as excessive handwashing). When OCD is present, obsessive thoughts cause distress and compulsive rituals can become so frequent or intense that they interfere with activities of daily living (ADLs) and normal developmental activities.

    Extractions: home self-help resources dr. wilson as your coach summary ... self-help resource for home obsessive-compulsive disorder Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Summary Obsessions are repetitive, unproductive thoughts that almost all of us have experienced from time to time. We can be driving down the road, ten minutes from home, heading for a week's vacation. Suddenly the thought enters our mind, "Did I unplug the iron after I finished with that shirt?" Then we think, "I must have...but I don't know, I was rushing around so at the last minute. Did I reach down and pull the cord out of the socket? I can't remember. Was the iron light still on as I walked out the door? No, it was off. Was it? I can't leave it on all week; the house will burn down. This is ridiculous!" Eventually we either turn around and head home to check as the only way to feel relieved, or we convince ourselves that we did indeed take care of the task. This is an example of what can take place inside the mind of any of us when worrying about a particular problem. Obsessive-compulsive disorder, however, is much more serious. In the mind of the person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, this pattern of thought is

    Extractions: On Serendip Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder which can afflict a person throughout his lifetime: "The individual who suffers from OCD becomes trapped in a pattern of repetitive thoughts and behaviors that are senseless and distressing but extremely difficult to overcome" ( http:www.nimh.nih.gov/publicat/ocd.htm ). Obsessions and compulsions are the two main components of this disorder. The former are often highly negative such as an ever-present fear of germs. Compulsions such as repeated handwashings are rituals designed to lessen anxiety produced by obsessions. Depending on the severity, OCD can have an adverse affect on every realm of a person's life. The outlook is optimistic, however, because research has shown that even people suffering from severe OCD may benefit from medication, behavioral therapy, or a combination of the two. Researchers have gained much insight into the cause of the disorder by comparing OCD brains with "normal" brains. There is continued debate about whether OCD is caused by neurobiological factors, environmental influences, or both. There is at least evidence to show that the brains of OCD sufferers differ from "normal" brains in systematic ways: "Recent preliminary studies of the brain using magnetic resonance imaging showed that the subjects with OCD had significantly less white matter than did normal control subjects, suggesting a widely distributed brain abnormality in OCD" (
