OCD can be managed successfully and as more and more research projects reveal additional information about compulsions and behavioral management, we professionals can help even more each day.

Everybody checks and re-checks important things, like being sure the door's locked or the oven's off, on occasion. People with OCD just find it more difficult to move on from one thought to another, and therefore experience obsessive thought patterns and may, for instance, check and re-check repeatedly.

If you have OCD, you may find it difficult to change state from feeling bad to feeling ok. you may also experience obsessive relationships. It seems that people with OCD generally have less serotonin (the feel-good hormone). This means that stress more easily becomes anxiety. Worry thoughts, which on the whole are normal, are intense and become all-consuming. The mind mayhem which accompanies OCD usually seeps into social and family life, and then ebbs out to all areas of the person's life; including their career, if indeed they are able to have one. Most people with OCD are well educated, intelligent and have successful relationships, lives and good careers, despite the fact that for many people with OCD, there is some element of social phobia.

FALSE BRAIN PATTERNS

OCD is characterised by false brain patterns, which vary from one person to another. Often a person will think that an impending disaster can be averted by performing a particular task, or ritual. On a logical level, most people with OCD know that these thoughts are irrational but the accompanying anxiety and the disorder itself, lends the false brain patterns an acute feeling of reality. Without help, a person with OCD is likely to confuse the erroneous brain patterns of worthlessness and impending doom with reality on an almost hourly basis.

Group support and therapy online is very effective at obtaining and retaining a ritual free existence for many.

Visualisation of a healthy, happy, relaxed brain, can also help.
