OCD: A Painful Disease

Whether Addiction or OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), patients with these disorders exhibit DENIAL, which is a symptom of these illnesses and thus the patient is never able to understand and accept that he has an illness. Although the patient is suffering and it is very tough for him yet, he is unable to control or find any solution and his rationality is not working..

PATIENT WITH OCD AND ADDICTION

OCD is a disease of the brain. where a person has obsessions, anxieties, fixed belief systems. His thoughts occur from a sick brain. Any one thought which seeks assurance and is done a few times becomes an obsessive pattern of the Brain and the brain starts doing it automatically, as that is how the mechanism of the Brain works. Later even though the mind gets tired and understands that it is not right but still the brain doesn't stop.

For instance, an OCD patient is getting ready for the office, his actions and behaviours convey a sense of dysfunctionality., like he spends unusual duration on choosing and checking his clothes, long time for bathing, gets ready checking and rechecking himself in the mirror a number of times, goes in the car but comes back several times to check if he locked the door or not and so on.

The thoughts and belief systems of the mind become the obsessive compulsive disorder of the Brain.... which, to mention again is, an automatic process of the Brain. So when we ask the patient( who is suffering from this illness) to stop his repeated actions,
