Extractions: IN C HILDREN AND A DOLESCENTS No. 60 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.

Extractions: How to Get Help For OCD Raising our Kids Eating Disorders MESSAGE FROM THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MENTAL HEALTH Research conducted and supported by the National Institute of Mental Health brings hope to millions of people who suffer from mental illness and to their families and friends. During the past 10 years, researchers have advanced our understanding of the brain and vastly expanded the capability of mental health professionals to diagnose, treat, and prevent mental and brain disorders. Now, in the 1990s, which the President and Congress have declared the "Decade of the Brain," we stand at the threshold of a new era in brain and behavioral sciences. Through research, we will learn even more about mental disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, panic disorder, and obsessive- compulsive disorder. And we will be able to use this knowledge to develop new therapies that can help more people overcome mental illness. The National Institute of Mental Health is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Extractions: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Obsessive compulsive disorder can occur in both children and adults. It is characterized by obsessions (repeated thoughts or images which cause distress) and compulsions (repetitive behaviors or rituals) These symptoms are often associated with significant anxiety and depression. The affected individual often fears that he is "'going crazy." Obsessions may often involve thoughts which seem unacceptable to the individual, so that he or she feels ashamed. Because of this, many people keep their thoughts a secret and suffer silently. In the past decade, there have been advances in the behavioral and pharmacological treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Abstract: A new hypothesis is presented within the framework of evolutionary psychology that attempts to explain the origins of obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is suggested that obsessions and compulsions originate from the overactivity of a mental module that the majority of humans possess and has the function of generating risk scenarios without voluntary intervention. It is hypothesised that obsessional phenomena function as an off-line risk avoidance process, designed to lead to risk avoidance behaviour at a future time, thus distinguishing it from anxiety and related phenomena as

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) - MentalHealthChannel
Obsessivecompulsive disorder (OCD) causes people to respond to anxiety with complicated, compulsive behavior.
http://www.mentalhealthchannel.net/ocd/

Extractions: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can be a debilitating disorder with the following two anxiety-related essential features People with OCD experience unwanted obsessions, which cause anxiety. Severe anxiety produces feelings of dread, worry, fright, and apprehension (see generalized anxiety disorder GAD). Certain behaviors are performed compulsively in an attempt to lessen this anxiety. Although they realize their obsessions are excessive and their behavior is unreasonable, they feel powerless to control either. In fact, their symptoms can overwhelm them and result in severe impairment and dysfunction, which can begin at an early age. Incidence and Prevalence The National Institute for Mental Health reports that about 3% of people in the United States have OCD. Typical age of onset for boys is 6 to 15, while for women it is often later, between 20 and 30. Risk factors like genetic predisposition and environmental stress contribute to OCD. Also, OCD is more common among people of higher education, IQ, and socioeconomic status. Men and women, however, are affected equally. Though its course is chronic and usually lasts a lifetime, it is treatable with medication, behavioral therapy, and, in extremely rare cases, brain surgery.

Extractions: One of the first questions people ask themselves is, why me? There are many theories about what causes panic attacks/anxiety attacks and anxiety disorders to develop. Are the causes biological, psychological or psychodynamic? (i.e. caused by past experiences or traumas). The anxiety disorders include panic disorder which is the fear of having a spontaneous panic attack / anxiety attack, social anxiety or agoraphobia, obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD, which causes the development and repetition of habitual rituals and post traumatic stress disorder or PTSD which occurs after a life changing incident or experience such as bereavement or a near fatal accident for example. People with social anxiety may have specific panic attacks / anxiety attacks in situations where they feel they may embarrass or make a fool of themselves in some way. The other major disorder is

Extractions: At lide af OCD er en meget stor belastning for ens hverdag. Tvangstanker er ideer, tankebilleder eller indskydelser, der dukker op i bevidstheden igen og igen på en ensartet måde. De er næsten altid pinagtigt generende og uhyre svære at modarbejde. Tvangshandlinger og ritualer er tilbagevendende handlinger, der udføres efter bestemte mønstre, ofte for at undgå en eller anden frygtet begivenhed og ofte foranlediget af tvangstanker. Såvel tvangstanker som handlinger erkendes af patienten som overdrevne og meningsløse, men på grund af den samtidige angst og urofølelse er de færreste OCD-patienter i stand til at bryde den onde cirkel ved egen hjælp. At Kristoffer er stoppet med sine behandlinger betyder ikke at Kristoffer er helbredt, det er meget normalt at man får tilbagefald, skal starte i behandling og skal medicineres. På det tidspunkt hvor jeg skriver dette har Kristoffer kun været ude af behandling i en måned, så det er svært at sige hvordan det har påvirket Kristoffer at undvære behandlingerne, endnu har det ikke været negativt.

Extractions: W elcome to OCDOnline.Com. This web site is exclusively devoted to promoting a greater understanding of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder's (OCD) treatment and mental processes. The creator of this site, Dr Steven Phillipson, recognizes that OCD is still minimally understood by the vast majority of mental health professionals. Although the most commonly known forms of OCD (contamination and checking) have received the greatest amount of media and research attention, lessor known forms of OCD (i.e. the purely obsessional type and the responsibility OC ) make up a very large proportion of the clinical population. The articles presented here represent state of the art conceptual understanding and treatment approaches developed for mainstream and lessor studied forms of OCD. D r. Steven Phillipson is a licensed clinical psychologist who has specialized in the cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) of OCD since 1986. Dr. Phillipson has contributed numerous articles to the OC Foundation's newsletter and was asked in 1991 to produce the first video on the treatment of the purely obsessional type of OCD.

However this insight provides no relief. Therefore attempting to help sufferers through reassurance has no long lasting positive effect. The most common and well-studied branch of OCD involves the OC where the undoing response generally involves some overt behavior. The most commonly thought of form of OCD involves contamination. Here an awareness of germs, disease, or the mere presence of dirt evokes a sense of threat and an incredible inspiration to reduce the presence of these contaminants. Most commonly the escape ritual involves a cleaning response (e.g., hand washing, chronic cleaning). The next most common form of OCD involves checking. Typically checking involves door locks, light switches, faucets, stoves or items that left unchecked might pose a risk to either one's well-being or the well-being of others. It is not at all uncommon for persons with this manifestation to check items between 10 to 100 times. The overwhelming impulse to recheck remains until the person experiences a reduction in tension despite the realization that the item is secure. Less common forms of OCD include hoarding, which is the excessive saving of typically worthless items such as junk mail, or excessive purchasing of certain items (e.g., owning hundreds of pairs of shoes). Other typically hoarded items include garbage, novelty items, or magazines and newspapers. A common rationale given to justify obsessive-compulsive hoarding behavior is an overriding fear that one day these items might come in handy or be of some value and therefore must not be thrown away. Another subgroup of hoarders involves persons who become emotionally attached to the items or feel that these items hold some emotional significance that reflects a particular moment in time. The person feels that relinquishing the item is in some way tantamount to releasing a past experience or association with a significant other.

OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER
ObsessiveCompulsive Disorder. (posted by Hopkins Technology). Ellsworth, ME Dilligaf Publishing, 1994. Greist, JH obsessive compulsive disorder A Guide.
http://www.hoptechno.com/ocd.htm

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?
