WHAT IS OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER, OR OCD?
It is a psychiatric disorder affecting four to six million adults and almost one-half million children. Its symptoms include intrusive, recurring thoughts, images or actions which generate an anxious, irrational fear (obsession), for example of germs or dirt. This anxiety often results in the repetitive performance of rituals (compulsions), such as excessive hand washing, bathing, checking and hoarding that effectively reduces the fear to tolerable levels. The person is almost always aware that their strange behavior makes no sense, but feels helpless to stop it. The patterns may be repeated as much as 100 times per day, and renders the person unable to function normally. It appears to be caused by a complex combination of inherited biological and learned psychological factors.
NEW HOPE FOR OCD SUFFERERS
In the past few years, there have been some exciting new developments in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that now offer hope to the more than six million adults and one million children nationwide who suffer from this seriously disabling disorder. The OCD Resource Center of Florida offers OCD sufferers hope for recovery from the suffering of OCD.
