Human Mental disorder

Ocd a Dangerous Human Psychological Disorder :

Obsessive- compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder most commonly characterized by intrusive, repetitive thoughts resulting in compulsive behaviors and mental acts that the person feels driven to perform..It affects a person's ability to function in everyday activities.For people with severe OCD, it may take several hours a day to carry out the compulsive acts.If the person dosen't perform those compulsive acts he gets mentally distrubed and cannot perform his duties efficiently.Even if the person knows that performing those compulsive acts is useless still he cannot resist to perform it because his mind compells him to do that.Hence OCD also kills the positive willingness.Depression is extremely prevalent among sufferers of OCD. One explanation for the high depression rate among OCD populations is that people with OCD (or any other anxiety disorder) may feel depressed because of an "out of control" type of feeling.The cognitive-behavioral model suggests that compulsive behaviour is carried out to remove anxiety-provoking intrusive thoughts. Unfortunately this only brings about temporary relief as the thought re-emerges.Many people experience the type of unpleasant or unwanted thoughts that people with more troubling intrusive thoughts have, but most people are able to dismiss these thoughts. When intrusive thoughts co-occur with OCD, patients are less capable of ignoring the unpleasant thoughts and may pay undue attention to them, causing the thoughts to become more frequent and distressing.For example, after touching a door-knob a person might have the thought that they may develop a disease as a result of contamination. They then experience anxiety, which is relieved when they wash their hands.This might be followed by the thought "but did I wash them properly?" causing an increase in anxiety once more, the hand-washing once again rewarded by the removal of anxiety (albeit briefly) and the cycle being repeated when thoughts of contamination re-occur
