A CASE HISTORY Bob saw his psychiatrist for treatment of depression for six months before he finally had the courage to bring up his other 'secret' problem. Since childhood he had a compulsion to count things. He had to count the letters in words and in people's names. If the letters added up to any number except 9 he felt a sense of release and could stop counting. He knew it was silly but nevertheless he had a fear that if he did not do this something bad could happen to his mom or dad. He seemed unable to stop doing this. He did poorly in school because he was distracted by his secret compulsion to count letters when he should have been paying attention to the teacher's lessons. He was later bothered as a teenager by upsetting sacrilegious mental images when he was in church. Having these sacrilegious images made him feel that he lost his soul for eternity.

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" (
The "I" And Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
The I and obsessive compulsive disorder. Jessica Zaldivar. For this paper I thought it would be interesting to look at obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).
http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/bb/neuro/neuro99/web2/Zaldivar.html

Extractions: On Serendip A recurring theme in our biology class seems to be the concept of the "I". We began with the idea of brain = behavior and in exploring that, have been asking questions about the brain and the concept of self and the role of "I" in certain biological systems such as central pattern generators. For this paper I thought it would be interesting to look at Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). While I was doing research for this topic I came across some surprising statements that I felt directly connected to our discussions about the "I" function and the role of brain and behavior. Obsessive Compulsive disorder affects one in fifty adults and twice that have suffered from it at some point in their lives . The Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Foundation describes OCD as "the brain getting stuck on a particular urge". Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is made up of obsession and compulsion. Obsessions are thoughts, images, and impulses that occur over and over again in the brain. They cause the sufferer to feel out of control of their behavior. The sufferer performs compulsions to control their behavior and to try and make the obsession go away. . Some of the most common obsessions are obsessions with germs and cleanliness that cause some people to bathe 14 time a day or compulsively wash their hands, obsessions with order that cause sufferers to organize their belongings because of a fear of losing them, and fear of causing harm to self or others that can result in obsessive checking of stoves etc. and obsessive worry about others well being. These obsessions take up time, OCD is categorized by compulsions that take up more than one hour a day, and cause the sufferer great distress. According to the research, most OCD sufferers are aware that they are being irrational and that their behavior is disruptive. This is part of the disorder that I found most interesting.

Extractions: Articles Departments Patient Information A patient information handout on obsessive-compulsive disorder , written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 1632. R ecent advances in the understanding of obsessive-compulsive disorder have highlighted the role of the family physician in the management of this condition. At one time considered rare, obsessive-compulsive disorder is now recognized as relatively common, exceeding the lifetime prevalence of more visible disorders such as schizophrenia. Consequently, most family physicians can expect to see patients with this disorder in their practices. Despite its earlier reputation as a disorder highly resistant to treatment, a number of effective treatment approaches now exist for obsessive-compulsive disorder. Diagnostic Criteria Typical obsessional themes include thoughts of contamination by dirt or germs, worries that the doors are unlocked or the stove has been left on, and intrusive images of family members being injured or killed. Diagnostic criteria for obsessive-compulsive disorder, according to the

Extractions: var sec = "learn_nav"; What it is : Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by recurrent and unwanted thoughts (obsessions), rituals (compulsions) or both that you feel you cannot control. There is no pleasure derived from carrying out the rituals only temporary relief from the anxiety you feel if you don't perform them. When severe and not treated, OCD can interfere with your work, social life and even family relationships.( How it's diagnosed : Doctors use a set of guidelines and questions to help determine whether you have OCD. The doctor takes a careful medical history to identify the obsessions and compulsions, learn if the symptoms are recurring and time-consuming (at least one hour every day) and determine whether the symptoms are causing extreme distress or impairment.( How it's treated : Treatment can involve taking medications, psychotherapy (talk therapy) or both. It is likely you will need ongoing treatment to prevent another episode. While OCD may be brought under control with proper treatment, it rarely goes away completely.( Your doctor may prescribe medication to help treat your OCD. The most commonly used type of medications for OCD are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as
