Q&A: I think i have OCD and its the cause of my depression? is a post from: panic attacks cause

Obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD, is a medical disorder that causes repetitive, unpleasant thoughts (obsessions) or behaviors (compulsions) that are difficult to control. All kids have worries and doubts. But kids with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) often can’t stop worrying, no matter how much they want to. OCD is characterized by recurrent intense obsessions and/or compulsions that cause severe discomfort and interfere with day-to-day functioning.

During the normal growth and developmental process of children and adolescents, rituals and obsessive thoughts normally occur with a purpose and focus based on age. Months or years may pass before parents become aware that their child has a problem because children often hide their obsessions and compulsive behaviors. It is common for parents and others to try to minimize the burden of OCD by helping their child avoid OCD triggers or by allowing them to engage in compulsive rituals.

OCD can make daily life difficult for the kids that it affects and for their families.

The behaviors make it more difficult to complete tasks, such as homework or chores. Kids with OCD also may suffer from low self-esteem or from shame or embarrassment about what they’re thinking or feeling.

Here we list some things that parents can do to help their children. Their OCD symptoms often prevent them from building good relationships, from achieving their best in school, and from having a normal childhood. The effects of this disruption can be painful and lifelong. With prompt, consistent intervention, most young people with OCD can wrest back control of their lives.

Specific treatment for OCD will be determined by a physician based on children’s age, health condition, medical history and detailed symptoms. As with adults, five medications make up the first line of defense in medication therapy for children with OCD: Anafranil, Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Luvox, and Celexa. Of course, given the sometimes limited cognitive abilities of children, the explanation of abstract concepts needs to be done in a way that is appropriate for the age of the child. Use effective parenting techniques, building support systems, and handling difficult issues, family therapy may be beneficial when issues are affecting the family as a whole.

Parents should pay attention to your children, preventive measures to reduce the incidence of OCD in children are not known at this time. Early detection and intervention can reduce the severity of symptoms. Seeking help from a child and adolescent psychiatrist is important both to better understand the complex issues created by OCD as well as to get help.

Does OCD cause you to feel that if you don’t do a certain ritual something bad will happen? is a post from: panic attacks cause

If you are suffering from OCD or obsessive-compulsive disorder, you are one of millions of people around the word. Many people misunderstand and fear it because they naturally will fear that place where they feel they can lose control over our minds and behavior.

If you are suffering in this way now, check out some of the ideas below and see if they can make a difference to your suffering.

1) Letting the thoughts in

As difficult as it maybe to cope with in the moment, the only way to start to get relief is to let the thoughts into your mind be as best you can.

This may seem painful, because we will naturally resist pain in our lives, but it is your only hope if you want to have some peace. The simple act of; letting the thought in can have a relaxing effect on your mind and body and can really settle things down for you.

2) Holding off on the compulsive behavior

If have OCD, then the chances are that you seek to cope with obsessive thoughts by engaging in some behavior to try to stop the impact of the thought on your psyche.

This compulsion can be mental or physical in nature. I know from experience that it can leave you feeling powerless and out of control and it is kind of like being in a prison. One way to get back control is to start hold off on the time before you engage in the compulsive behavior. This can be hard at first but it can give you back some confidence and help you feel more in control.

3) Looking for the wound

There is a chance that if you are suffering from OCD that something happened to set this behavior off in your life. There may have been some emotional wound that you experienced that drove you to be compelled to carry out this compulsive behavior, and because of which, you started something that you cannot stop.

If you do know what wound caused this behavior, and you feel it come up every time the emotional wound is triggered and you are compelled to carry out some type of behavior, you can use emotional freedom techniques to clear the stored emotion and get on with your life.

How To Cope With Ocd is a post from: panic attacks cause

ocd has both physical and mental rituals and anxiety is only to do with mentality?

Best answer:

Answer by choroidplexus
Anxiety disorders are a fairly broad categorization of mental health disorders where excessive and irrational anxiety lead to disruption in one’s life. Generally, there are five distinct categories of anxiety disorders: generalized anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, panic, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety disorders.

So, to answer your question as stated, OCD is an anxiety disorder, just a subset of anxiety disorders.

I think you may be confused about the difference between OCD and GAD (generalized anxiety disorder). You are right, since both are anxiety disorders, both commonly have intrusive thoughts and worries.

With GAD, sufferers have, as the name implies, general worries and concerns that are irrational and hard to get rid of, often causing physical symptoms. With OCD, patients have a hard time getting rid of persistent, unwanted thoughts or worries (obsessive thoughts) where they feel compelled (compulsive actions) to perform irrational rituals to ease the worry (excessive hand washing, certain arrangement of objects, etc.). [1]

So, while they both have similar excessive and intrusive worries, with some subtle differences, one of the major differences is the ritual performance in those with OCD. There is a lot of crossover in the symptoms, and comorbidity of the two separate disorders is fairly common. [2]
