Psychiatric Disease # 1 _ _ Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Not a lover of cleanliness. Not a purist...

But they are the ones whose brains are so "grooved" that they can't find a way out.

Come to know obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

(Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder)

"You put a tilt on the book. I interrupt. I'm OCD."

Many people may have heard (or used) sentences like this often, right?

But you know, in medicine, Disorder Obsessive-Compulsive OCD is not a purity, not a perfection.

But it is "torture" that locks the patient up.

In the cycle of terror

Let's compare the brains of OCD patients like "infected computers."

Suddenly a pop-up window bounced up and warned of scary things (such as, "If you don't check the gas stove, the fire will burn down the house, get up and check it now!"), this is Obsession.

The brain forces the patient to repeatedly walk to the gas stove.

Ten thousand times to press the pop-up window.

This is Compulsion.

Repeating behavior makes the patient feel "relieved."

Temporary...

But the problem is, the more we press the virus, the more the virus will learn that we are afraid, and the next time it will bounce pop-up more often and more violently.

So that some patients waste time washing their hands or checking their doors for hours a day until they can't work and live a normal life.

(Scroll through the illustration to understand the cycle of this disease more clearly.)

An epilogue to those around you:

If someone close to you has these symptoms, do not scold or bother him for repeated things, because he himself is suffering and "wants to stop being broken" as well.

Shaking his hand to a psychiatrist for medication and psychotherapy (CBT / ERP) is the best way to remove this virus from the brain.
