Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

OCD COULD AFFECT 2-3% OF THE UK

Symptoms can include, intrusive thoughts, intrusive sexual thoughts, constant fear of danger where there is none,. Compulsion to complete rituals such as hand washing, counting or touching objects. Fear of dirt and contamination. A need for things to be "just as they should be".

We all worry from time to time about things that might happen, things that will probably never happen, we can usually put them out of our mind, go to other thoughts and other things.

OCD sufferers know that their behaviour can be irrational but are unable to control these thoughts and compulsions. Not completing these rituals or compulsions can cause great distress.

Treatment for OCD would most likely include investigative work into past habits and patterns, within hypnosis, cognitive (conscious) behavioural therapy and reframing to prepare for the future and to feel more in control.

It may be necessary to obtain a written authorisation from a qualified medical consultant or practitioner before commencing any form of therapy.
