OCD

OCD cannot be classified as insanity. It IS a mental problem but not as severe as schizophrenia for example.

The need to do something a certain amount of times or feeling uncomfortable when doing something as they have never done. Watching the TV show Monk might help you. He has Obsessive compulsive disorder.

There is NO CLEAR history. Notions of OCD have been present since the middle ages, often called "insanity" & people were put into mental assylums.

In the 1900's the mental illness became effical.

Prolonged, repeated, and severe abuse can cause Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD may include obsessive (intrusive) thoughts and compulsive acts.

People with Ocd often have either touching rituals (where they touch certain objects or have the feeling they must touch something) or they are afraid of bacteria ( ie they are afraid of germs or becoming sick, and or they frequently wash their hands). Some signs are also unusual intelligence, because your mind thinks so much about the actions it does it often results in intelligence.

paranoia once begun is treated with visits to the psychiatrist and medication teraphy would be prescribed. I have seen many cases of paranoia in the veterans hospital and I can firmly say that most of the time the treatment works.

People with obsessive-compulsive disorder feel ashamed of their problem and often try to hide their symptoms. They avoid seeking treatment. Because they can be very good at keeping their problem from friends and family, many sufferers do not get the help

that would be Disposophobia i didnt know how to spell it so i just copyed it

Disposiphobia wold be eaxctly the opposite of a fear of clutter - its a compulsion to clutter. So, its not the right answer

Successful treatment starts with an accurate diagnosis, and I found my highly specialized and cost-efficient experts services here "h t t p s : / / y a z i n g. c o m/deals/register.diet.mayoclinic/Businessexpert2021"

Yes it is called passive aggressive disorder. A passive aggressive personality will repeat himself over and over again to not allow you to express yourself. They also will respond to everything you try to tell them before you are finished with your sentence. This is there way of (conciously or subconciously )to not let you express yourself or too not hear you. Im not sure which one. I should ask that question.

well not nesacarily but it can be if it is really bad the person with the disorder may get so frustrated that they take their own life, but other then that it is not life threataning but it can be extremely dihabititating and leave a person house bound.

There is no actually cure for OCD. You can grow out of it by learning to focus on other issues besides your compulsive behavior. But you never fully grow out of it because it can keep returning if you do not learn to control it.

Only because their lives are such a mess.

There is a strong genetic component to OCD.

high levels of harm avoidance

I am not a medical professional, nor have I done research on this question, but I am a person who has been diagnosed with each of these things. First off, I think that it is a result of brain chemistry, even the "social anxiety" (that sounds as if it's behavioral.) The reason I say this is that both my father and his mother have the same diagnoses. Hopefully the chemical imbalance will lessen as the generations continue, because my grandmother is much worse than my father, and my father is much worse than me--but maybe the symptoms just get worse as we age! I don't know. What I do know is that my grandmother takes a steady dose of a number of drugs, but the most relevant on to this discussion is Lorazopan. I have taken Lorazopn on an as needed basis, and it acted like a tranquilizer if I was having an anxiety attack. But my grandmother takes it as part of a daily regime, as does my father (at a lighter dose.) I don't think it would be possible to work while taking Lorazopan on a daily basis, but I could be wrong. My grandmother mostly sits around all day reading when she is not walking in circles, and she has a lot of hallucinations, but that is probably a different story.

My father has spent some time in a hospital for treatment of his OCD. One of his triggers is being obsessed with things on the ground, worrying that people may slip and fall. So, part of his treatment therapy )cognitive behavioral therapy) was to sprinkle flour on the floor of a hallway, spritz water over it, and watch people walk down the hallway without saying anything to them. Another patient there who was worried about passing germs to other people through hand-shaking had to rub his hands on the bottom of his shoe and then go shake hands with people. I think these methods are interesting, but also messed up! My father had some short term alleviation of anxiety reactions related to his OCD, but I don't think it fixed the mental reaction, just the way he behaved himself (which I guess is the point--but this didn t help HIS mental problems, it only led him to act in more acceptable ways for the rest of society.) It is now a few years since his hospitalization, and my father has had to quit his job and retire early because of his anxiety and OCD.

I'm finished writing for now--hopefully I can return to this post and finish writing about my experience with the lovely OCD, depression and social anxiety combo. Until then, I suggest finding a very thorough and specialized psychiatrist if you experience these disorders. Also, I think that taking psychiatric drugs should be paired with counseling/therapy. While we may have chemical imbalances, our brains are very powerful and can (sometimes) be manipulated (in good ways) to alter thought patterns, etc.

----New Answer----

Heres my answer. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder causes you to constantly worry/think about your social anxiety. You can't get it of your mind, and so you become afraid of social anxiety itself, or of the anxiety attacks it gives you, which therefore actually causes you to have that social anxiety attack. This would then lead to depression, because of the inability to overcome the social anxiety. It seems Obsessive Compulsive Disorder may be what actually triggers social anxiety disorder.

Some people just enjoy washing their hair and have a need to have it clean. If you see the same thing happening with other things though, then I would maybe check with your doctor to see if you might have some kind of OCD.

It could cause you to commit suicide.

Missed Dose
If you miss a dose take it as soon as you remember. However if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the Missed Dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

You can save money on a prescription.
Shop around at as many pharmacies as possible. Don't forget to include online pharmacies in your search, as they often have the best prices, and you can save a lot of money on a prescription.
In case you can compare Luvox prices online at www.rxoffer[dot]com .
P.S Many online reliable pharmacies will be happy to provide the prescription to anyone who can answer a few simple questions.

Not that I know of. Obsessive complusive disorder is learned, or a coping mechanism in response to a trauma. Either way...it is a reaction to feeling you have no control. So you try to create control in your world/space. Therapy really does work...with the right therapist and a willingness to be open about what is really going on with you. There really is life after a diagnosis...be well

It can, but it depends on the person who has it, what they know about OCD, and how they're feeling. I myself began with simple OCD that was little more than superstition, and over a few years it got worse and more time consuming until I was afraid even to get out of bed. I'm recovering now with therapy, so it also gets better.

HOCD is a type of Pure Obsessional OCD. It is more of mental things, when things constantly repeat over and over again. Inside the mind, and you have extreme anxiety and avoid anything that would trigger that thought.

When someone has HOCD, it's when they have a fear of being with the opposite sex or the same sex (Straight person afraid of being gay, and a gay person afraid of being straight) It may seem ridiculous but it can be very bad for the person and can lead to severe depression. Usually these people are not homophobic and vice versa, but the mind repeats itself many hours of that day, as if it's trying to convince you. Even if the sufferer knows it's not true, and repeating does not stop.

There is other forms of Pure-O. Relationships, Religion, Violence etc. Look Pure-O online and you will find more info.
