To gain control of our actions first we need to face up to the
OCD and believe in ourselves that we can fight this fight single
handed if need be. I say single handed purely because this
battle is one sided (between you and you). Medication is readily
available to combat and ease the symptoms but for results you
have to work hand in hand with prescribed medicines and listen
to medical advisors. This has proven to be successful for many
of our fellow sufferers of over compulsive disorder(OCD)
Patients in desperation who take a stand and decide enough is
enough, go on to topple this illness thus claiming contentment
after liberation. The cure is out there whether you opt to take
it is another matter, freedom beats being a prisoner inside of
your own thoughts where mind over matter, matters. All patients
differ where in some cases symptoms are more severe than that of
others. There is no need to try and beat this alone, yes I did
mention this was between you and you, but where is the harm in
having a little support behind you.
The cause behind many a sufferer's OCD remains a mystery,
regardless of not knowing why and how it all started the
sufferer continues to carry on with their repetitive compulsions
in return for peace of mind. A combination of factors have been
addressed which could probably be the cause, it has not been
ruled out that in some cases it is hereditary. More prone to OCD
are people who are susceptible to stress. Perfectionists also
come under threat from developing this disorder.
In America approx one in 50 adults currently suffer from
obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) double that number for the
amount of people who in the past at some point been gripped by
this self destroying illness.
2% of the population have been recognised as sufferers of OCD
but just who really are the true sufferers. Family, friends,
children even strangers are affected. Any one in general who
proves to be a threat where an OCD patient is interrupted or
prevented from performing his/her repetitive rituals in the home
or out on the street is not welcomed with open arms. Figure in
numbers for all infected and affected by OCD, is now a
population over populated with an epidemic.
I still fight this battle alone but as I stated earlier the
success rate in curing an over compulsive disorder (OCD)
sufferer is quite high but it is a time thing so don't expect
miracles overnight. I am going to be honest with all who are
reading this article. I found coping with my OCD over the years
easier than trying to fight it where it caused a lot of
heartache and pain. I hasten to add most importantly at this
point we all differ greatly. What works for one may not work for
the other.
Symptoms of OCD to an outsider can be looked on as quite
hilarious, but then you have the fellow sufferer with
understanding on obsessive compulsive disorder who can relate to
why a victim's tears just keep on flowing. Please consult a
doctor if you or someone close may have developed any signs of
this disorder.
A little advice, if you choose to ignore this warning then I
know I do not cry alone.
