OCD (the acronym for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) is generally referred to as an obsessive turmoil which determines a symptomatic behavior characterized by repetitive and recurrent actions.
Such behaviors are caused by obsessive thoughts concerning a single issue.
Commonly, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder problems fall under three categories: * cleaning obsession Some individuals are afraid of getting contaminated when touching things, therefore, they took to extremes the tendency to clean and wash everything.
Gradually, this inclination turns into a ritualized conduct affecting severely a normal behavior.
* checking obsession A permanent threat of an imminent disaster might take easily full control of many people 's minds and the more they fear such possibilities the more they strive to prevent events by iterative checks.
It is worth mentioning that people suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder are fully aware of their obsession but are not capable to restrain themselves from further checking actions.
* ordering obsession Another symptomatic behavior can be easily noticed due to an exaggerated inclination to put all things into a precise order.
All these behaviors are energy and time consuming.
Moreover, they might socially isolate OCD victims from normal people who cannot understand and accept obsessive behaviors.
Therapists treat obsessive compulsive disorder during hypnosis sessions.
Medication is generally combined with psychotherapy techniques.
CTB or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is by far the most effective therapeutic procedure as experts efficaciously combine 2 different approaches in psychiatry - cognitive and behavioral treatments.
CTB has positive results with a wide array of anxiety disorders such as insomnia, eating and drug abuse disorders.
