Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - OCD Part 1

Dr. John Breeding, Ph.D. psychologist discusses what is termed obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD.

Dr. Breeding discusses potential psychological causes of an obsession or a compulsion as well as how to discharge negative emotion and love oneself.

Psychiatry often prescribes psychotic medications for obsessions and compulsions. Off label medication are often prescribed for this problem including mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, anxiety medications, antidepressants, etc.

Common OCD medications include Paxil, Prozac, Luxox, Zoloft, Lexapro as well as a number of SSRI antidepressants. Other medications often prescribed but not necessarily approved for OCD by the FDA include, Neurontin, Lamictal, Zyprexas and Risperdal. All of these medications have undesireable side effects and do not address the underlying cause of the psychological disorder. None of these drugs are actual cures.

Dr. Breeding discusses how to address obsessions and compulsions for a psychological model.

[MrClassic96]

you can only understand ocd if you have it or if you have had it.

i'm very interested in what drives persons such as this to deny the reality of mental disorders which make life so unbearable for those with such disorders. his basic message seems to be "be cool, like me, and everything will be alright". it must be either personal aggrandizement or perhaps financial asperations. at any rate, i would love to have him experience life with severe ocd for a week.

@SarAein1 I do have the obsessive parts but my obsessions always change in a week or two... maybe thats just me though.

[SarAein1]

@grettagrids Then you don't have OCD.

[grettagrids]

my "OCD" drives me to get things done and also drives my creativity... I don't have a problem with it :)
