Yes. Stress levels can compound OCD. So can things like alcohol, pms, and caffeine.
The most reliable test for cheating OCD is the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R), which is a widely used assessment tool that can help diagnose and measure the severity of OCD symptoms related to cheating.
Yeah, Definitely you should be able to qualify. Sorry about the autism man... that must be a hard condition to live with. I have ADHD and OCD tendencies, thank god I can speak to other people in an intelligent manner though.
Definitely. Depending on the severity of the OCD, it can complete debilitate someone from completing everyday functions or even living their lives at all. OCD is definitely not something to be taken lightly, especially if it is severe. Hope that helps. Best wishes.
OCD is not a personality disorder.Borderline personality disorder is a personality disorder.They are both different mental disorders that can have different levels of disability depending on how severe the disorder is
People with OCD aren't perfect at everything! but they tend to be perfectionists, not al of them but some (depending on the type of OCD ) for example books neatly lined up or things stacked up neatly, on the other hand not all people with OCD are orderly they can be quite the opposite, infact hoarders, they tend to keep things and getting rid of them causes them a great deal of stress, OCD is a wide category of different things :)
a lot of people (i hav ocd)
I have a serious case of ocd and have been using prozac and seroquel for almost a year now. It is slowly starting to work, I was suicidal when I first went to the hospital and 9 months later I am half way across the country attending university. I am told that the combination is used in severe cases of ocd, anxiety and depression
He doesn't really have OCD
Yes, OCD and a large variety of behavioral and nervous disorders can go with the stress and insecurity of a family break-up. Most people have little idea how much stress is placed on a child in a divorce situation. Judith Wallerstein's book, The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce, offers a rather shocking view of many of the things that can come of divorce.
Yes. I was watching a show about OCD, and one of the interviewers had OCD towards her family, thinking they were "contaminated."
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a form of anxiety disorder. It is noted by obsessions (persistent thoughts that produce fear, and general anxiety), and compulsions (repetitive behavior that is done by the individual in order to temporarily relieve obsessions). OCD is a fairly common disorder, especially in the US, and depending on the severity, can be treated with therapy, medication, or in very extreme cases, electroconvulsive therapy. It can be diagnosed using the DSM description, and rated using the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale.
Usually, stress. However, somebody else's ambitions for perfectionisms that reflect directly on you can also cause some compulsions that can later be developed into OCD.
