It is not difficult to find that the symptoms of long-term obsessive-compulsive disorder are generally a situation in which you force yourself to do something or change a certain state according to your own wishes.
Symptoms of chronic obsessive-compulsive disorder
(a) Forced association
Thinking that a series of unfortunate events will happen again and again, although knowing that it is impossible, can't restrain it, arousing emotional tension and fear.
(2) Compulsory recall
I remember the unimportant things I did over and over again. Although I know it doesn't make sense, I can't help myself. I must remember it again and again.
(3) Forced to doubt
You will have unnecessary doubts about whether your actions are correct and need to be verified repeatedly. If you doubt whether the doors and windows are closed after going out, go back and check it several times. Otherwise, you will feel anxious and uneasy.
(4) Compulsive fatigue
Thinking about natural phenomena or events repeatedly in daily life, knowing that it is meaningless, but unable to restrain yourself, such as thinking repeatedly: "Why does the house face south instead of north?"
(5) Forced opposing thinking
Two opposing words or concepts appear repeatedly in my mind, and I feel distressed and nervous. If I think of "support", I immediately appear "opposition"; When you say "good people", you will think of "bad people" and so on.
(6) the intention of coercion.
On some occasions, patients are distressed that they have an idea that is obviously contrary to the situation at that time, but they cannot control this intention. For example, a mother walked to the river with her child in her arms and suddenly had the idea of throwing her child into the river. Although no corresponding action was taken, the patient was very nervous and scared.
The harm of long-term obsessive-compulsive disorder
1. Abnormal cranial nerves
Long-term obsessive-compulsive disorder will also lead to some mistakes in the process of identifying information, misjudge one's own behavior and results, damage the ability of others to process and process information, and eventually lead to schizophrenia.
2. Depression
Obsessive-compulsive disorder itself has caused serious harm to life, but it is often accompanied by obsessive-compulsive disorder, which will lead to a series of mental diseases and lead to the collapse of patients' lives.
In an international cooperative survey, it is found that the probability of depression caused by obsessive-compulsive disorder can reach 60.3%, and the destructive power of depression even exceeds obsessive-compulsive disorder itself.
commit suicide
Obsessive-compulsive disorder patients might as well die, because they subjectively don't want to accept it, but objectively they can't control themselves from compulsive behavior, so obsessive-compulsive disorder patients are always in a contradictory psychological environment.
Some patients are always worried about showing obsessive-compulsive symptoms in front of people, so they refuse to communicate with the outside world and suppress their emotions for a long time.
Some patients feel deeply guilty and inferior about their illness, and think that they have caused troubles to people around them. Various emotions flashed back and forth in patients' minds, and some people even wanted to end their control and torture of the disease by death.
Treatment of long-term obsessive-compulsive disorder
dispersion method
Consciously changing the subject or doing something else to distract attention can effectively relieve emotions. When OCD patients are still in Yu Nu, they might as well relax their nervousness by watching movies, listening to music, playing chess and walking.
Once obsessive-compulsive symptoms are about to appear, we should quickly shift our attention from obsessive-compulsive symptoms to other things, immediately leave this motivation and do other things to replace obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
For example, you can choose some activities you like, such as sports, walking, listening to music, playing basketball and so on. This conscious transfer, even for a few minutes, is a successful treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder.
behavior therapy
A rubber band consisting of three strands of rubber bands is sleeved on the patient's right wrist. In case of compulsion, increase repeat count, repeat inspection, etc. And immediately pull up the rubber band on your right wrist to play compu.
After a period of repeated practice, when the rubber band is pulled 3-5 times to resist compulsion, the rubber band can be removed. If stress occurs again in the future, you can immediately think of the antagonistic strength of the rubber band on your wrist, and you can dilute the stress with your own thoughts.
Ventilation method
People will inevitably have all kinds of bad emotions in their lives. If we don't take appropriate measures to vent and adjust, it will have a very adverse impact on our body and mind.
Therefore, if you have unpleasant things and grievances in your heart, don't hold them in your heart, but pour them out to close friends or relatives or simply cry. This kind of venting can quickly release the accumulated stagnation in the heart and is very beneficial to people's physical and mental development.
aversion therapy
The easiest way is to put a rubber band on your wrist and play it hard whenever you are anxious or have an idea. You should feel the pain, and the symptoms will be relieved after a while.
Morita therapy
In other words, if you don't take physical symptoms to heart, physical discomfort is all wrong information. If you ignore these discomforts, your symptoms will gradually ease.
Eating obsessive-compulsive disorder
Spinach: Drive away depression
Spinach is rich in magnesium, which is a mineral that can make people relax physically and mentally. Spinach and some dark green leafy vegetables are the main sources of magnesium. Spinach is also rich in vitamin C, another antihypertensive nutrient, and also contains a lot of iron and folic acid needed by the human body. Folic acid deficiency can lead to mental illness, including social phobia and early-onset dementia. People with insufficient folic acid intake can't sleep after 5 months, showing symptoms such as forgetfulness and inferiority.
Bananas: reduce troubles
Banana contains a substance called alkaloid, which can cheer up the spirit and enhance confidence. In addition, bananas are a super source of tryptamine and vitamin B6, which can help the brain to produce serotonin and reduce anxiety. If the human body lacks serotonin, it will easily lead to mania and depression, and the serotonin contained in bananas is relatively high, so eating bananas in moderation is very beneficial to the tranquility and happiness of the brain nerves.
Eggs: Say goodbye to lethargy
If your brain is slow, sleepy and unable to concentrate, eat some eggs. Eggs are rich in choline, a vitamin B complex that helps to improve memory and attention. Eggs also contain protein necessary for normal human activities, so that people can spend every day easily.
Oats: Get rid of anxiety
Drink a bowl of cereal every morning. Oats are rich in vitamin B, which helps to balance the central nervous system and calm you down. Cereal porridge can also release energy slowly, so you won't have a sudden increase in blood sugar. A sudden rise in blood sugar can sometimes make you extremely excited.
Grapefruit: Purify the mood
Grapefruit is not only rich in fragrance, but also can purify complex thoughts, refresh the mind and enhance self-confidence. Its high content of vitamin C can not only maintain the concentration of red blood cells, make the body resistant, but also resist stress.
Diagnostic criteria of obsessive-compulsive disorder
differentiate
First of all, we should make clear the normal repetitive behavior and avoid overwhelming support and enlarged diagnosis. Almost everyone will have some behaviors or actions that are repeated in a set order, such as pulling the door two or three times before going out to make sure it is closed.
Be sure to fill the cup with water with your left hand, then hold the toothbrush in your right hand and squeeze the toothpaste with your left hand. Generally, this kind of habitual behavior is to improve efficiency, which will not make people feel pain and will not affect their normal life. Patients with obsessive-compulsive symptoms need to be differentiated from the following diseases.
1, schizophrenia
Obsessive-compulsive disorder patients also have obsessive-compulsive symptoms, but they often don't worry about compulsion and don't take the initiative to seek treatment. Obsessive-compulsive disorder has bizarre thinking content, hallucinations, delusions and other mental symptoms, which are generally easy to identify. However, patients with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder are sometimes accompanied by short-term psychotic symptoms, so attention should be paid to differentiation.
2. Depression
Patients with this disease will have symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder will also have depression. The main purpose of identification is to identify which main symptoms appear first.
3. Anxi
Both people will have anxiety. The anxiety of obsessive-compulsive disorder is mostly caused by the repeated occurrence of obsessive-compulsive thinking or the inability to implement obsessive-compulsive behavior. In contrast, anxiety disorder can be unprovoked and lack of specific objects.
4. Compulsive symptoms caused by drugs.
Some drugs, such as clozapine, can cause obsessive-compulsive symptoms in the treatment of schizophrenia, but patients do not feel distressed. After stopping the drug, the symptoms gradually eased and disappeared.
5. Organic mental disorder
Organic lesions in some parts of the brain, such as bleeding or infarction, may have obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Therefore, it is necessary to ask about the history of cerebrovascular diseases and complete related auxiliary examinations such as magnetic vibration of the head.
Common nursing methods of obsessive-compulsive disorder
1. Do a good job in patient psychological care, with supportive psychotherapy as the main content, and strengthen patients' confidence in treatment. When the patient's condition improves, we should affirm and encourage the patient in time, let the patient see hope and light, and be optimistic rather than desperate about the recovery of the disease.
2. Establishing effective communication with patients and understanding their inner experiences and feelings, as well as the types of emotional reactions, is helpful to timely and accurately grasp the emotional changes of patients and take necessary preventive measures to nip in the bud.
3. Pay attention to communication skills and language use. Avoid using slanderous language and rude behavior to stop patients' compulsive actions and behaviors. If you forcibly protect the patient without any explanation, or scold the patient: "annoying", "fake clean" and so on. In order to avoid hurting patients' self-esteem, we should consider patients' psychological endurance.
4. When patients with strong suicidal attempts and behaviors are subject to protective constraints. Explain the purpose of protection to patients. Otherwise, the patient will misunderstand that protection is a punishment for him, which will intensify the opposition with medical staff and lead to extreme behavioral reactions.
Conclusion: The above is the common sense about the diagnostic criteria of obsessive-compulsive disorder compiled by Bian Xiao. Of course, there are some treatments. You can get to know them properly. If the body has some symptoms, it should be treated in time to avoid injury.
