What is ocd
1. “She can’t wash imaginary blood of Hands”
A girl was continuously washing her hand because she thought there was a blood
stain on her hand but the actual reason was she had killed someone and that fear
lead her to do so.
The compulsive hand washing of Lady Macbeth in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, is
often referred to as an example of OCD.
What is OCD?
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a type of anxiety disorder. If you have
OCD, you have frequent, upsetting thoughts called obsessions.
To try to control the thoughts, one can feel an overwhelming urge to repeat
certain rituals or behaviors. These are called compulsions.
A person that suffers from OCD knows that the obsessive thoughts and
compulsive behaviors are irrational—but even so can’t resist them and break free.
Examples of obsessions are a fear of germs or a fear of being hurt. Compulsions
include washing hands, counting, checking on things, or cleaning. With OCD, the
thoughts and rituals cause distress and get in the way of our daily life.
Checking the door lock before sleeping is normal but checking it for 20 times is
definitely not. OCD causes the brain to get stuck on a particular thought or urge.
FACTS

the obsessive thoughts are likely to disappear soon

the more it will be avoided the scarier it will become.

that one have more control (and less to fear) than think.
Shifting attention to something else
Try to delay the urge for longer period by doing something else like exercise,
jog, walk, listen to music, playing video games and enjoy it for sometimes
At the end of the delaying period, reassess the urge. The longer one can delay
the more it will likely change
More than this, psychological interventions such as behavioral therapy and
cognitive-behavioral therapy as well as medication can lead to a reduction of
OCD symptoms for a number of people.
