Patient discussion about obsessiveness.
Q. What Is OCD? I have heard the term OCD on T.V and wanted to find out- what exactly is this syndrome?
A. OCD is a psychiatric disorder in which a person experiences obesessive thoughts and compulsions to do a ritual in order to "calm" these thoughts down. Obsessions can be recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images that are experienced at some time during the disturbance. They are inappropriate and cause marked anxiety. Compulsions are defined by repetitive behaviors or mental acts that the person feels driven to perform in response to an obsession, or according to rules that must be applied rigidly. This disorder should be diagnosed only by a doctor.
Q. Relation between bipolar & obsessive compulsive disorder. Is there any relation between bipolar and obsessive compulsive disorder? I ask you this because I have many answers so I have to choose one. Sorry I can’t post all which I know. Excuse me!
A. There is correlation between ADHD/ADD, and/or depression and/or Boarderline Personality Disorder and OCD due to a serotonin imbalance. BPD is often misdiagnosed as bi-polar.
