Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - OCD Part 2

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - 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.

His theories are questionable.

I had OCD in high school for a few years. It was very real and it didn't feel that I had any control over it at all. One day, I was checking the water faucet for the millionth time when, I had a thought, why am I doing this? It doesn't make any sense and that was the end of my OCD. It's real until it isn't real any more.

Everytime I think of OCD I think of Death the Kid =.=

Meanwhile, real people are *suffering* to an extreme degree because of their OCD. Your response? "Eh, get over. It's just in your head"...

i used to have OCD about lies and corners, like when ever i walked on the sidewalk i HAD to step with my right foot over one line and with my left foot over the other and so on. also when there was a corner of a wall i always had to step over the corner like there was an invisible line. but got over it :)

@CanadaGuy80 There is something to criticize in every theory.

The diagnoses of non-psychotic "mental illnesses" like OCD, SAD, GAD etc are needed because we often don't want to face unravelling the reasons ourselves. It's much simpler to receive a diagnosis. People get very attached to it as a focal point for explaning things.

Interesting paradox how people will fight to defend their illnesses. Myself included.

This how we seem to solve our problems in the West now. People aren't being creative enough in my view. We limit and determine ourselves.
