OCD Treatments & Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety: What is it?

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Cognitive therapy is a form of psychotherapy that emphasises the important role of thinking in how we feel and what we do.

The obsessive person is driven by persistent, negative thoughts that are involuntary, uncontrollable and consuming. Self doubt, ambivalence, indecision, and impulsive fill him or her.

With the OCD sufferer, obsessions are repetitive, unproductive thoughts that almost all of us have experienced from time to time. Imagine driving down a road , maybe ten minutes from home, heading for a week`s holiday, and suddenly the thought enters your mind.

"Did I unplug the iron after I finished with that shirt"

Then you think, "I must have...but I don`t know, I was rushing around so at the last minute. Did I reach down and pull the plug out of the socket? I can`t remember. Was the iron light still on as I walked out of the door? No , it was off. Was it? I can`t leave it on all week or the house will burn down."

"This is NUTS!"

Eventually you either turn round and head home to check, as the only way to feel relieved, or we convince ourselves that we did indeed take care of the task.

The point to the above, is that a lot of healthy people can identify with some of the symptoms of OCD, such as checking the cooker or iron before leaving the house. But for the people with OCD, such activities consume at least an hour a day, are very distressing and interfere with daily life.
