| What is OCD? |
| OCD is a neurological disorder characterized by obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions may take the form of fear of disease, fear of hurting someone, fear of offending, fear of contamination, while the compulsions may be represented by constant touching, cleaning replaying events, etc.
Sufferers are conscious that the thoughts are generated by their own minds from their own experiences, yet they feel totally unable to rid them from their mind. The only relief is gained from carrying out the compulsions which puts them at ease. |
| OCD treatments |
| It is generally thought that a combination of CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) and medication in the form of SSRIs are the best treatment for OCD. Sufferers have claimed to have got relief by using natural products. |
