Answer 2

OCD or obsessive compulsive disorder...
it can be treated through a series of psychotherapy.

most of the time we give antianxiety medications
OCD is treated using medications and psychotherapy.

The first medication considered is usually a type of antidepressant called a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI). These drugs include fluvoxamine (Luvox), fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), paroxetine (Paxil), and citalopram (Celexa).

If an SSRI does not work, an older antidepressant called clomipramine may be prescribed. Clomipramine is the oldest medication treatment for OCD. It works better than SSRI antidepressants in treating the condition, but it has unpleasant side effects, including sleepiness, difficulty starting urination, dry mouth, and a drop in blood pressure when rising from a seated position.

In some cases, an SSRI and clomipramine may be combined. Other medications such as benzodiazepines may offer some relief from anxiety, but they are generally used only with the more reliable treatments.

Psychotherapy is used to reduce anxiety, resolve inner conflicts, and provide effective ways of reducing stress.

Answer 3

Obsessive complusive is the disorder. You can go at this all kinds of ways. You can talk to a psychologist, you can try to back off on your own and you can get involved outside your home. You need a plan and someone to hold you accountable. You will drive family and friends wild. Who wants to be known for that? I have a friend that has combated this all her life. She is making up for the fact that she has not always been accepted in her family as good enough. She has made headway but I do have to say that I love that her house is always clean. No bedlam. Her kids turned out the exact opposite though. She's doing better because she is learning that she is great as a person and a friend and accepting that her family will not ever be really pleased. We all have issues. Yours isn't any worse than mine or anyone else's. They may look like they have it all together but it isn't true. But you can be happy with the way God made you and learn to be comfortable in your own skin. Write a list of your strengths and refer to that list when you feel down.

Answer 4

OCD? Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Answer 5

One of the ladies at where I work confessed to this. She said her husband and kids were getting down on her because she was stressing at them.

I suggested a diet (the Zone diet by Dr. Barry Sears), that lowers blood sugar. She was able to relax and let some of the housework go. And she lost weight, too.

Seriously, obsessions, addictions and bad habits can be related to overproduction of insulin, and overproduction of other bio-chemicals that results. It may not be psychological. Try the diet for 2 weeks, and see if the pressure to clean starts to let up.

Best wishes.
