OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER

• Previously grouped under anxiety disorders.

• Obsessions are persistent intrusive thoughts. Compulsions are intrusive behaviours. Attempts made to ignore or suppress the obsessive thought are usually not successful. The compulsive act is performed with a sense of subjective compulsion coupled with a desire to resist the compulsion. The individual generally recognises the senselessness of the behaviour and does not derive pleasure from carrying out the activity, although it provides a release of tension.

• Examples are repeated checking to be assured that the door was locked, repeated hand washing and extreme neatness.

 

Treatment

• Psychotherapy.

• Cognitive-behavioural therapy that involves addressing cognitive distortions, psychoeducation, breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation and progressive exposure.
