What is obsessive compulsive disorder and what are its symptoms

In today's fiercely competitive society, many people become mentally confused due to work pressure and develop various mental illnesses, of which obsessive-compulsive disorder is the best example. Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder will have compulsive thinking and behavior, which is a common mental illness. Studies have shown that obsessive-compulsive disorder is more common than compulsive thinking, and the younger the age, the more obvious this tendency is. What are the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder?

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a conscious or unconscious self-compulsion and repression. Patients will feel that they have nothing, and suddenly experience abnormal psychological states such as loneliness, solitude, and social isolation. Therefore, when the seeds of obsessive-compulsive disorder sprout, they must be treated in a timely manner to avoid more serious obsessive-compulsive disorder.

1. The patient will have compulsive intentions. In certain situations, the patient has an idea that he knows is contrary to the current situation, but he cannot control the emergence of this intention and is very distressed.

2. The patient will have compulsive inspection. Often occurs with obsessive doubts. The patient is not reassured about things that he knows have been done well, and checks them repeatedly, such as repeatedly checking that the doors and windows are locked, etc.

3. The patient will experience compulsive rumination. Repeatedly thinking about natural phenomena or events in daily life, knowing that it is meaningless but unable to restrain oneself.

4. The patient will exhibit compulsive ritual actions. Before daily activities, you have to do a set of actions with a certain procedure. For example, before going to bed, you have to take off your clothes and shoes according to a certain procedure and put them in a fixed pattern. Otherwise, you will feel uneasy and have to put on your clothes and shoes again and take them off according to the procedure.

5. Patients may experience forced opposing thinking: two opposing words or concepts appear repeatedly in the mind, causing distress and tension. For example, when they think of "support", "opposition" immediately appears;

The above are some of the manifestations of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a very serious mental illness that requires the care and concern of family members to slowly help patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder come out of the shadow of compulsion. Nowadays, otakus and housegirls are most likely to suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder if they shut themselves up every day, so for your health, you should always pay attention to your lifestyle.
