Question: Dear Doctor, I’m suffering from OCD for the last five years. I
used to clean my room often and I’m spending most of the time to wash my body.
Each and every hour I used to wash my hand to maintain my hygiene. I consult a
psychiatrist regarding this; he only diagnosed me that I’m suffering from OCD.
Then he prescribed me few medicines, after taking those medicines, I felt some
kind of drowsiness and not able to do my routine works so, I withdraw the
medicines.
My
question is there any Homeopathic treatment for OCD and I need counseling also
please tell me I want to know the answer.
Doctor Answer:
Hi
Dear, Pls find the complete details about OCD below, Homeopathy medicines treatment
and psychological counseling helps to get rid of the OCD, Its good to consult
the doctor in person to rule out your doubts
Obsessive-Compulsive
Disorder (OCD)
At one time or another, we’ve all double-checked that we locked the
front door, “knocked on wood” to ward off certain disaster, or had. While most
people continue about their daily routine without giving these experiences a
second thought, if you have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), these kinds of
occurrences can become both distressing and debilitating.
OCD is considered an anxiety disorder. Obsessions are thoughts,
images, or ideas that won’t go away, are unwanted, and are extremely
distressing or worrying (“What if I become infected with a deadly disease?” or
“What if I molest a child or murder my partner?”). Compulsions are behaviours
that have to be done over and over again to relieve anxiety. Compulsions are
often related to obsessions. For example, if you are obsessed with being
contaminated, you might feel compelled to wash your hands repeatedly. However,
this is not always the case.
Most people with obsessive-compulsive disorder fall into one of the
following categories:
- Washers are afraid of contamination. They
usually have cleaning or hand-washing compulsions.
- Checkers repeatedly check things (oven
turned off, door locked, gas off etc.) that they associate with harm or
danger.
- Doubters and sinners are afraid that if everything
isn’t perfect or done just right something terrible will happen or they
will be punished.
- Counters and arrangers are obsessed with order and
symmetry. They may have superstitions about certain numbers, colours, or
arrangements.
- Hoarders fear that something bad will
happen if they throw anything away. They compulsively hoard things that
they don’t need or use.
Just because you have obsessive thoughts or
perform compulsive behaviours does NOT mean that you have obsessive-compulsive
disorder.
Obsessive-Compulsive
Disorder - Diagnostic Criteria
A. Either obsessions or compulsions:
Obsessions are as defined by
1. Recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images that are
experienced, at some time during the disturbance, as intrusive and inappropriate
and that cause marked anxiety or distress
2. The thoughts, impulses, or images are not simply excessive
worries about real-life problems
3. The person attempts to ignore or suppress such thoughts,
impulses, or images, or to neutralize them with some other thought or action
4. The person recognizes that the obsessional thoughts, impulses,
or images are a product of his or her own mind (not imposed from without as in
thought insertion)
Compulsions as defined by
1. Repetitive behaviours (e.g., hand washing, ordering, checking)
or mental acts (e.g., praying, counting, repeating words silently) that the
person feels driven to perform in response to an obsession,
2. The behaviors or mental acts
are aimed at preventing or reducing distress or preventing some dreaded event
or situation; however, these behaviours or mental acts either are not connected
in a realistic way with what they are designed to neutralize or are clearly
excessive
B. At some point during the course of the disorder, the person has
recognized that the obsessions or compulsions are excessive or unreasonable. Note:
This does not apply to children.
C. The obsessions or compulsions cause marked distress, are time
consuming (take more than 1 hour a day), or significantly interfere with the
person's normal routine, occupational (or academic) functioning, or usual
activities or relationships.
D. If another Axis I disorder is present, the content of the
obsessions or compulsions is not restricted to it (e.g., preoccupation with
food in the presence of an Eating Disorder; hair pulling in the presence of
Trichotillomania; concern with appearance in the presence of Body Dysmorphic
Disorder; preoccupation with drugs in the presence of a Substance Use Disorder;
preoccupation with having a serious illness in the presence of Hypochondriasis;
preoccupation with sexual urges or fantasies in the presence of a Paraphilia;
or guilty ruminations in the presence of Major Depressive Disorder).
E. The disturbance is not due to the direct physiological effects
of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication) or a general medical
condition.
Obsessive-compulsive
disorder (OCD) symptoms in children
While the onset of obsessive-compulsive disorder usually occurs
during adolescence or young adulthood, younger children sometimes have symptoms
that look like OCD. However, the symptoms of other disorders, such as ADD,
autism, and Tourette’s syndrome can also look like obsessive-compulsive
disorder, so a thorough medical and psychological exam is essential before any
diagnosis is made. It’s also important to note that OCD is an anxiety disorder,
and in children, the symptoms of anxiety usually change over time. So a child
with OCD symptoms will not necessarily have OCD as an adult
Homeo treatment and Psycho Therapy for
obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
There are many effective treatments available for Obsessive-Compulsive
Disorder (OCD), ranging from therapy to self-help and medication. However,
Symptomatic Homeopathy medicine treatment
for OCD with cognitive-behavioural therapy is more effective for fast
improvement
