Many people find it surprising that Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, or OCD, is a more commonly diagnosed psychiatric disease than Panic Disorder, Schizophrenia, or Bipolar Disorder. Over 3 million people in the United States have this Anxiety Disorder, and researchers suspect that less than 10 percent of those persons are presently under the supervision and care of the medical community.
OCD is a Psychological Disorder that causes patients to experience repetitive thoughts (obsessions) that cause them to take repeated actions (compulsions) that they believe will counteract, reverse, or counterbalance the distress caused by the thoughts. Without these ritualistic behaviors, people with OCD may feel unable to obtain relief from their obsessive thoughts.
The symptoms of OCD may begin anywhere between the ages of 6 and 15 in boys; young girls usually begin to exhibit signs of OCD much later, between age 20 and age 29. Almost everyone who develops OCD begins to show symptoms before the age of 40. The following are some of the most obvious clues that a person may be struggling with OCD:
Unusual obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviors that are unrelated to any known causes
Repetitive, intrusive behaviors over which the patient has lost control
Compulsive behaviors involving order, cleanliness, hoarding, or spending
Obsessive thoughts concerning sex, religion, morality, cleanliness versus contamination, or superstitions
Random, ritualistic behaviors such as repetitive counting, questioning, reciting, touching, or list making
People with OCD usually recognize that their thoughts and actions are abnormal although many will try to hide their symptoms from those around them. When the need to continually perform any behavior interferes with forming healthy relationships or living up to his or her social and occupational responsibilities, it is time to seek help from those knowledgeable in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
