 Hey, what's up all you beautiful people, it's Ashley here. Now, I don't know if you've seen my latest video or not, it's called definition of OCD. However, as stupid as I am, I realized that I missed out an important factor when it comes to talking about OCD. Special thanks to the lovely person who posted a comment on that video about it. Since I am making this super quick video to explain about primarily obsessive-compulsive disorder. Now, it's a less-known form or manifestation of OCD. There are actually fewer or no observable compulsions. These obsessions will manifest as intrusive thoughts or mental images and they're usually of harmful or violent nature. It can also be a frightening impulse that causes the person to have extreme anxiety because it is totally opposite to their closely health beliefs or morals. The sufferer understands that these fears are unlikely and might not even happen, but the anxiety that they feel will make the obsession feel so real. The person will begin to ask themselves, am I really capable of something like that? Could that really happen? Is that really me? You know, even though they realize that the fear is irrational and because they do realize that it causes them even further distress. It ends with trying to find some sort of reassurance through mental searching. Now, even though this disorder has to do with thoughts and not behaviors, there are two types of cognitive behavioral therapy that have been proven to be very successful when it comes to treating this disorder. They're known as exposure and response prevention and cognitive restructuring. I will put the links of where I got all my information about primarily obsessive-compulsive disorder in the description box below. I hope you've enjoyed this little video. The link to definition of OCD, the video that I've done previously, will also be in the description box below.
