    Extractions: Every morning, Sarah takes a long bath and gets dressed before school just like other kids. But after she's done, she washes her hands and arms for an hour before breakfast. She wants to stop, but her hands just don't feel clean enough and she can't get herself to turn off the water. Sometimes she scrubs her hands so hard that they become red and raw. After eating, she feels she has to wash again and clean her bedroom until it's spotless. It takes so long to wash and dress that Sarah has to rush to get to school on time. Even if she makes it before the final bell, her days are miserable. She tries not to touch doorknobs or handrails, worrying that if she does she may catch a serious disease. She gets behind in her class work because she needs to keep checking it over and over. During a quiz or test Sarah checks and rechecks every answer and erases anything that isn't perfectly straight or neat. Sometimes she erases so hard it tears the paper. But she worries that if it's not perfect, something terrible may happen. All this worry, checking, and fixing takes so long that Sarah hardly ever finishes the test before time is up. So even though she knows the work, she often gets an incomplete or even fails. At night, Sarah can't go to bed until she has straightened her already clean room and bathed several times. There's little time for homework. Often she stays up late getting things in her room "just right" and is tired the next day.

    Extractions: If you or someone you care about has been diagnosed with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), you may feel you are the only person facing the difficulties of this illness. But you are not alone . In the United States, 1 in 50 adults currently has OCD, and twice that many have had it at some point in their lives. Fortunately, very effective treatments for OCD are now available to help you regain a more satisfying life. Here are answers to the most commonly asked questions about OCD. Worries, doubts, superstitious beliefs all are common in everyday life. However, when they become so excessive such as hours of hand washing or make no sense at all such as driving around and around the block to check that an accident didn't occur then a diagnosis of OCD is made. In OCD, it is as though the brain gets stuck on a particular thought or urge and just can't let go. People with OCD often say the symptoms feel like a case of mental hiccups that won't go away. OCD is a medical brain disorder that causes problems in information processing. It is not your fault or the result of a "weak" or unstable personality. Before the arrival of modern medications and cognitive behavior therapy, OCD was generally thought to be untreatable. Most people with OCD continued to suffer, despite years of ineffective psychotherapy. Today, luckily, treatment can help most people with OCD. Although OCD is usually completely curable only in some individuals, most people achieve meaningful and long-term symptom relief with comprehensive treatment.

    Extractions: An Obsessive-Compulsive is easy to identify. He or she are preoccupied with lists, rules, rituals, organization, perfection, details, and order to the point of paralysis. They are unable to see the wood for the trees and are constantly worried that something is or may go wrong. Actually, they place greater value on compiling and following rigid schedules and checklists than on the activity itself or its goals. Some OCDs are self-righteous to the point of bigotry. They are so excessively conscientious and scrupulous and so unempathically and inflexibly tyrannical that it is difficult to maintain a long-term relationship with them. They regard their impossibly high moral, work, and ethical standards as universal and binding. Hence their inability to delegate tasks to others, unless they can micromanage the situation and control it minutely to fit their expectations. Consequently, they trust no one and are difficult to deal with and stubborn.

    http://kidshealth.org/parent/emotions/behavior/OCD.html
    
    Extractions: "What if I forget to bring my homework to school? Did I remember to feed my goldfish? I know I turned off the TV, but let me check to make sure." All children have worries and doubts. But when your child can't stop thinking about them, they begin to hamper his ability to function. No matter how stressful the worries are, no matter how silly they may seem, and no matter how much your child wants them to go away, they do not subside on their own. In association with this anxiety, your child may begin to perform certain rituals, behaviors that are performed in a certain way over and over again. If these behaviors persist, your child may be diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It is reported that approximately 1 million children and adolescents in the United States have OCD. This translates to one in 200 children. OCD is more prevalent than many other childhood disorders or illnesses, but it is often hidden because it causes pain and embarrassment to the child. In the years when most children want to fit in with their peers, the discomfort and

    Discusses separation anxiety, thunderstorm anxiety and obsessivecompulsive disorder.  
    http://www.geocities.com/harbaugh4/scared.html
    
    Extractions: Separation anxiety is demonstrated by several things, centered on how the cat acts when you leave, when you're gone, and when you return. Here, your cat is a dog. You try to leave, and she runs to the door, crying, climbing at the wall, saying take me too!! She tries to sneak out the door and run with you to work. When you're gone, she cries, and destroys things she never does when you're around. And when you return, it's the biggest event of the world - all is right, because you are home!! The first task is for the owner. Change *your* routine. We don't realize it, but we do the exact same things again and again every day. Your cat will figure out that when you put on shoes, turn off the TV, pick up your briefcase and grab your keys, you're on the way out. So, instead, do things out of order. Put your keys in your pocket a half hour before you're ready to leave. Put on your shoes right away after showering. When you aren't leaving, go put on your shoes, pick up your keys and bag - and walk back to the couch and sit down. This will help to break her of the patterned response.

    Extractions: Mental Help Net Staff Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder where a person has recurrent and unwanted ideas or impulses (called obsessions) and an urge or compulsion to do something to relieve the discomfort caused by the obsession. The obsessive thoughts range from the idea of losing control, to themes surrounding religion or keeping things or parts of one's body clean all the time. Compulsions are behaviors that help reduce the anxiety surrounding the obsessions. Most people (90%) who have OCD have both obsessions and compulsions. The thoughts and behaviors a person with OCD has are senseless, repetitive, distressing, and sometimes harmful, but they are also difficult to overcome. OCD is more common than schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or panic disorder, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Yet, it is still commonly overlooked by mental health professionals, mental health advocacy groups, and people who themselves have the problem.

    Extractions: SUMMARY OF THE PRACTICE PARAMETERS FOR THE ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WITH OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER ABSTRACT These parameters give the clinician direction in the assessment and treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in children and adolescents. These parameters are not intended to define the standard of care; nor should they be deemed inclusive of all proper methods of care or exclusive of other methods of care directed at obtaining the desired results. The ultimate judgment regarding the care of a particular patient must be made by the clinician in light of all the circumstances presented by the patient and his or her family, the diagnostic and treatment options available, and available resources. Recommendations are based on extensive review of the scientific literature and clinical consensus among experts in the subject. The literature review, including references, and the rationale for specific recommendations are contained in the complete document (American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 1998). ASSESSMENT DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS TREATMENT COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL PSYCHOTHERAPY PHARMACOTHERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors The availability of the SRI clomipramine and the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) fluoxetine (Prozac), fluvoxamine (Luvox), paroxetine (Paxil), and sertraline (Zoloft) have dramatically changed the treatment of OCD.

    Extractions: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder P eople 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.
