4 Types of OCD & How They Manifest

Upbeat music, Narrator, Hey Psych2Goers, Welcome back to our channel. We wanted to let you know that every one of your comments likes and shares helps support this channel and our goal to spread awareness about psychology and mental health. You help us make psychology and mental health more accessible to everyone. So thank you so much for your support. Before we begin, we would also like to remind you that this video is for educational purposes only and is not intended to be used as a diagnosis. So please do not self-diagnose If you suspect you or someone else might have OCD. We advise you to seek professional help With that said, let’s continue. Obsessive-compulsive disorder or OCD is a mental illness that is exhibited by repetitive, unwanted, or intrusive thoughts. The obsessions are Often followed by an urge to do something repeatedly, The compulsions. It is a very serious mental illness that causes a great deal of suffering to those who have it. But did you know that there can be many different ways in which OCD manifests itself to help you get a better understanding of OCD? Here are four different types of OCD and how they manifest Number one Intrusive Thoughts and Ruminations. When someone with OCD suffers from intrusive thoughts, it’s, not the occasional, disturbing thought now and then it can be normal for people to have an intrusive thought as they go about their day, They may think of something worrisome or unpleasant and brush the thought. Aside. With OCD, it’s a different story When someone with OCD has intrusive thoughts, they’re repetitive and often constant. They can obsess over the thought for minutes or even hours. These thoughts can range in topic and be anything, but some common ones are violent. Intrusive thoughts, which involve a fear of harming yourself or a loved one sexual intrusive thoughts, which can involve unwanted thoughts of causing sexual harm to someone or obsessively questioning one’s, sexuality, And others can involve obsessions with religion and the fear of sinning. Analyzing. One’s relationship excessively and magical thinking, intrusive thoughts, in which one fears that simply thinking about a thought can make it more likely to happen. These thoughts are often followed by rituals or compulsion to make the bad thing not happen or to simply assure oneself that they don’t feel a certain way about it. A negative thought. Ruminations in OCD are when one dwells upon a question or a theme that is unproductive and likely to lead nowhere, dwelled upon for an excessive amount of time more than your average philosopher. These are often different from intrusive thoughts as they can be indulged in rather than resisted. Someone with OCD may excessively ruminate about life after death, visualizing every scenario to the detail, leaving them detached and preoccupied from what is going on around them, as they’re attending. To the thoughts in their mind, Number-checking OCD can present itself in the need to check on something This act, as compulsion Checking is often enacted out of a fear that something bad will happen, such as a fire, a burglary, or harm to loved ones. This can display itself in a variety of ways. Someone may check in with their family members to gain reassurance about their fears, or maybe they feel an unrelenting need to check the door repeatedly to make sure it’s locked out of fear of a burglary. Someone with OCD may even try to recall memories to make sure they felt a certain way or didn’t cause someone harm. For example, someone with OCD may be obsessing on their thoughts, questioning their sexuality When they know outside of obsessing, what their sexual preference is. The individual may check or pay attention to their body for arousal, But because they’re focused on not wanting this response. The body may automatically generate feelings of arousal. As research has shown, our bodies often react to what is actually relevant and not always what we desire and value Or another example.

Someone with those CDs may check an email they’ve written over and over. For any imperfections and fear, they may have written something wrong or will offend someone. Could you imagine writing an email to your boss only to check it for minutes on end all due to fear, you may have written something that could come across as inappropriate and therefore lose your job. As a result, We all generally need our jobs. So while this fear may seem to derive from an irrational place, those checking their email for the hundredth time are often afraid of losing something important to them. This is a common fear for those suffering from OCD, In the sense that they love or value something. So much so that they will strongly feel the need to act out these compulsions to protect what they love And since what you, love and value can often change in your life. Ocd will grab a hold of what it is. You’re enjoying and valuing and trying to manipulate it. Inside of your mind, according to your fears, This is one of the many dark features of OCD Number three Contamination or Mental Contamination Among those with OCD. There are generally two types of contamination obsessions. One is simply labeled, as contamination Contamination is often characterized by the strong fear of being dirty or contracting germs from objects or people. Someone may not like to shake hands, as they have an obsession with contracting a virus from someone else or someone may be excessively brushing their teeth or scrubbing their hands for minutes on end out of fear of not feeling clean enough or feeling just right. A lot of physical damage can occur due to these compulsions. Mental contamination is an area of OCD. Researchers are just recently starting to get an understanding of this. It can be evoked when someone feels as if they’ve been treated badly or if someone makes an abusive remark to them. The person will engage in compulsions to wash away this bad feeling, such as showering or acting out other compulsions And number four Symmetry and Orderliness. This type of OCD manifests in different ways such as organizing one’s, books or DVDs, making sure everything is neat, or clothes, folded perfectly and hanging the same way, While a lot of us may simply like symmetry, those with OCD focused on symmetry and order Are obsessed about it and did not gain any enjoyment out of organizing to ensure it feels just right, Remember what may look organized and clean to someone who doesn’t have OCD may feel wrong to someone with OCD because it’s about the feeling. Logically, they know their books are neatly stacked and their closet is fairly organized, but they can’t shake the strong feeling that it isn’t just right. This feeling may even pester them throughout the entire day, which is why they so strongly feel the need to act out the compulsion With OCD. The compulsion often only provides relief for literally a second. The thoughts and obsessions play on a loop, leaving a repetitive cycle and compulsions are an urge to simply be free of fear and, if, for only just a second to feel right. Fortunately, there is good news and hope in some of this. Some therapists do understand and specialize in treating OCD. Some of those affected by OCD have seen productive results through cognitive behavioral therapy from a therapist who does understand the condition. If you suspect you or someone else may have OCD, we highly recommend you seek professional help.

ADHD: Signs, Symptoms, Solutions

ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and is often described as a mental disorder. children with ADHD have trouble paying attention are hyperactive and often have difficulty controlling their behavior. it is estimated that it affects around five percent of all children aged 3 to 17 globally and that for every girl around three boys are diagnosed with it. to understand how it affects children in school let’s look at the story of Leo, a 12-year-old boy who goes to school with the best intentions but struggles hard to succeed. attention deficit is his biggest problem. Leo gets distracted so easily it happens even when he tries his hardest to focus. he often realizes that he has suddenly zoned out and has spent the last 15 minutes thinking about something entirely different. just the tiniest thing can get him off track. to him it feels like his brain is broken. he is also forgetful books and homework are often left at home and if he doesn’t miss an assignment he often loses it somewhere or forgets to turn it in. His grades are terrible and some teachers are beginning to think that he is a lost case. then there is his hyperactivity: when they have to do group work he is restless and has trouble staying focused. staying calm and listening while others speak can completely drain him, making any normal conversation a serious challenge. to him it feels like there is no capacity left in his brain to deal with all the input that needs to be processed. he then feels angry about not being able to follow along. to help cope with his hyperactivity he likes to keep his hands busy all the time. last, there is his impulsive behavior: he often cannot refrain from saying things that come to his mind. sometimes he tries hard to control himself but then just blurts out and interrupts others. his classmates find this annoying. he leader regrets his hot-headed behavior but he knows that unfortunately, he will do it again and again. it seems to him that he can’t learn from his mistakes. teachers get frustrated trying to get him to behave.

Others become impatient, give up or distance themselves. after he is diagnosed and receives support through concrete steps, things begin to get better: at school, he is seated next to a supportive student in the front row of the class, he gets a notebook that lists all his assignments to help him remember and to make homework easier to track he receives it for all subjects only once a week. to relax he is allowed to use fidget objects during lessons and take short breaks when needed. after school he practices speaking and listening routines with the specialist. additionally, his dad bikes with him to school every morning and in the afternoon he is allowed to play the ball as long as he wishes. for severe cases of ADHD prescription drugs are often prescribed. before that happens children like Leo need to undergo a professional age-appropriate diagnosis by a child psychologist who will try to look below the surface. ADHD could just be the tip of the iceberg the root cause might be drama at home, bullying at school, poor sleep or the wrong diet. Sir Ken Robinson told the story of Gillian Lynne, an 8-year-old girl that was said to have a learning disorder. she could not concentrate and never sat still. when she was brought to the specialist who didn’t subscribe any therapy but instead played music on the radio, the girl started dancing. he then told her mother: “Gillian isn’t sick, she’s a dancer. take her to a dance school!” Gillian Lynne later became a famous dancer and then responsible for some of the most successful musicals in Broadway history. please share your thoughts in the comments below. if you are hyperactive or if you are diagnosed with ADHD please tell us about your coping mechanisms so we can learn more about it from reading your insights. if you want to support our Channel, enabling us to make more such videos, visit patreon.com/sprouts and check out what we do.As found on YouTube Brain Booster | Blue Heron Health News ⇝ I was losing my memory, focus – and mind! And then… I got it all back again. Case study: Brian Thompson There’s nothing more terrifying than watching your own brain health fail. You can feel it… but you can’t stop it. Over and over I asked myself, where is this going to end? What am I going to end up like? And nobody could tell me. Doesn’t matter now. I’m over it. Completely well. This is how I did it!

The Stages of Sleep (Health Guru)

You think you’re relaxing, but your body is actually going through four very distinct stages while you sleep. See more videos at: http://www.healthguru.com

Anxiety and Sensory Processing Disorder – Which Comes First?

So today we’re talking about sensory processing disorder and anxiety and which comes first. Is it sometimes that we get anxious and therefore we become sensory reactive and super sensitive or under aroused or is it that our sensory causes the problem and this is a really good question and it’s a really important one to address well so we’re really just going to introduce some of the concepts just now and bring some things into the room that we need to think about we’re not going to solve all the problems that this question brings up because that would take days. So let’s give it a go – from an occupational therapy perspective when we think about sensory processing disorder and anxiety we’re really starting to wonder if the distress that our client is carrying is really secondary to the sensory processing disorder the challenges that that brings and so that’s really where I’m going to speak to today and we will bring in a psychologist later to talk about when anxiety is the primary part of the picture and more of the root cause of what’s going on. So if we think about the sensory systems and really try and unpack them and go deep with what it might mean to have a dysfunction in one or many of them then we can start to understand that it would naturally, be a cause of anxiety because movement needs to be organized and under our control to feel safe our sensory systems have a very primitive function of keeping us alive as well as helping us to move, move beautifully, move with finesse, navigate spaces, and become social creatures. The first piece though is this safety – keeping us alive Our sense of balance, our vestibular sense – that spirit level of the liquid in the inner ear and crystals that tells us if we’re upright against gravity or where we are – that system, its first function is to keep us alive and if we get turned upside down real quick it’s gonna make all the alarms go off and it’s going to be telling us that we need to change something pretty quick so we go into a state of flight or into a state of fight or even more severe into a frozen state when this system sends all the alarms are off. Also when the system isn’t getting enough information it starts to wonder if I’m safe and alarm systems, alarm bells start to ring. So for example, if you’ve ever been in an elevator and there’s that moment before you can really tell if you’re moving yet or not, there’s that moment and people start to look at each other like “are we okay? what’s about to happen here?” because we’re not getting enough data enough information from our vestibular system to really assess if we’re safe if the situation is okay – which way we’re moving.

And again that sense of alarm that you get when you’re on a public transport, maybe a bus and the bus next to you – which one’s moving is it me or the bus next to me? My visual system and my vestibular system are in conflict and I can’t tell what’s going on, I go into alarm. So these are just examples trying to help us empathize with individuals who struggle with their vestibular information on a day-to-day basis and that state of heightened alarm, arousal that they get into or that they exist in for most of the day, which would look like an anxiety disorder but it’s not – it’s not clinical anxiety in those situations, it’s anxiety that’s caused by a lack of integration of the vestibular system with perhaps other systems competing for information, not enough information and being too quickly and too often in a state of fight or flight or freeze. The same goes for our position sense – our proprioceptors which are predominantly in our joints and when we get compression or when we get traction on our joints, we know where we are in space. I often would fall asleep on my arm and go to that point past pins and needles when my arm is just like – is it even there?! and that – if you’ve ever experienced that – is really alarming, the alarm systems go off and your body starts to say this is not okay, I’ve lost a whole limb here and you know what’s happened is that there’s that blood flow has been a problem, the proprioceptors aren’t functioning very well. Your sense of proprioception keeps you locked and grounded in your own body and when that the system is unreliable, it’s inconsistent, it’s not giving you great the information then your arousal goes up and you start to have alarm bells going off in your lower brain saying I’m not safe, I need to be wary, I need to orient to everything that’s going on around me and that looks again that vigilance, that anxiety. But it’s got a sensory root in these cases, but we don’t call these anxiety disorders, we’re calling that a response to what’s going on with the sensory systems and we could go on with example after example. A really an important one to think about is the child who really has trouble with multiple sensory systems at once and the most challenging environment for that the child generally speaking is school because the school environment is loud, it has bells, it has visual clutter, there are things hanging from the ceiling, there are Mobile’s, there are posters, there are Halloween displays, there are echoes in the cafeteria, children are completely unpredictable and they knock you and they push you and your nervous system is constantly vigilantly trying to keep you alive and you look like an anxious child an aggressive child a child with behaviors but it come back down to sensory processing. So this is where we start to say with some of our children is the sensory or is this anxiety? When this child’s at school they cannot cope, their tolerance for stress is minimal because they’re using all their resources just to get through the day, or are they so stressed that they’re reactive and we need to figure out which one comes first. And some of these children where the multi-sensory piece is the problematic piece – so what we do with those kids is we reduce as much stress as possible, we cater to their sensory systems, we nourish their sensory systems, we put them in the right therapy, we look at the other stresses in their life – are they getting enough sleep? Are they drinking enough water? Are they eating enough food? How are their relationships? What is their timetable? How are they getting to school? What’s their socioeconomic status? All of these stresses – we look at them, we nourish the sensory systems and then we wait and we watch and we start to unpack. And if this child is able to adapt better when we nourish their sensory systems and adapt to the environment, then we know that fundamentally what’s going on here is not anxiety but the sensory stresses are so great that they’re causing an anxiety response. But if after adapting and treating for sensory anxiety is still very prevalent than we refer – we find a really good mental health provider who understands sensory but we refer to them and we get them involved and we start unpacking the rest of the picture and what’s going on and that’s really important.

So that’s been a a little introduction to sensory processing disorder and anxiety and the interactions between the two. It’s sensory awareness month. I’m Virginia Spielmann the associate director of STAR Institute here and we are trying to raise awareness, educate and research more into sensory processing disorders so there will be a link that we’d love you to click on to show your support.
