Mental Disorders are conditions that affect your thinking, fellings, or even your behavior. Such features may be persistent or occur as a single episode. Here I am going to write about, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder or (OCD).
This mental disorder is an anxiety one, therefore is characterized by being associated to feelings of fear and distress. It is a chronic and a long- lasting disorder in which the person has reoccurring unwanted thoughts, or ideas, that make him feels the urge to repeat over and over.
The thoughts that a person may have, produce that the person make certain rituals or compulsive actions to reduce the anxiety and feling better.
There is not a exact cause to know how this disorder is produced, but normally the factors that may influence, are head injuries, infections and abnormal functions in certain areas of the brain.
Sometimes your genes are responsable for them. Parents and Teachers often recognize symptoms of OCD in childs. And most of the people receive a diagnosis at 19 or 20, but there are people with OCD that don´t have symptoms until 30.
A Person could live his entire life with this disfunction without feeling any problem, but there cases when the quality of life starts to diminish. One of the most common effects may be the social isolation making that the person leave his job and relationships.
This disorder can be treated with especial therapy to understand how the disorder was produced.
