If you or a loved one are struggling with OCD, or you need to know more about the condition in order to provide the right type of therapeutic treatments to a patient, there are a number of medical articles that are now available on the subject, which is a welcome change from previous years. Here are some of the best resources for finding out more about obsessive compulsive disorder, as well as possible treatments you may want to try.

OCD actually is an anxiety disorder that includes unwelcomed thoughts and repetitive behavior. Having to count the amount of steps that it takes to get from the front door to the car, or closing doors a certain amount of time before leaving the house or the office are characteristics of this condition, and people with obsessive compulsive disorder also have a tendency to be obsessed with getting rid of germs and dirt, which means that they may have to sanitize or wash their hands over and over several times during the day.

People with OCD feel as though something tragic will happen to them if they do not complete all of their rituals in the course of a day. For instance, some patients feel that if they lose count of their steps when they are walking, a family member may be injured if they do not start counting their steps from the beginning. Some people also think that something tragic will happen to them, or that they will not be attractive or smart enough to handle social situations properly until they have fulfilled all of their rituals.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder can be brought on by a particularly traumatic experience in the past, and can last for years, especially if it is not detected and treated properly. In many cases, the negative thoughts can be associated with the dangerous or depressing event that has taken place in the life of the patient, so psychotherapy treatment may be effective in treating patients of all ages who are struggling with an anxiety disorder.

Therapy may include getting the patient to uncover the reasons why they are dealing with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) , and having them discuss how they feel each day when rituals are not performed. Performing the various 'habits' will provide temporary relief from the anxiety or nervousness, but these methods have to be performed several times a day in order for patients to feel some sort of normalcy, which is why the disorder is so debilitating. Pictures, music therapy, and simply talking out their problems can prove to be rather effective, and a number of medications, such as Anafranil, will also help to reduce anxiety symptoms. For natural treatments, SAM-e and 5-HTP will help to increase serotonin levels and keep the condition under control and live free from panic disorder
