Obsessive Compulsive DisorderOCD |

|
An obsessional symptom is an unwanted thought or impulse which enters the subjects mind repeatedly despite his/ her conscious resistance.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - CAUSE The cause of OCD is poorly understood. Genetics is known to play some role. OCD can rarely occur due to some neurological disease. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Obsessional symptoms are recognized as coming from subjects own mind. Common themes include repeated thoughts of becoming aggressive or fears of contamination. These thoughts are often followed by rituals which are patterns of behavior developed to relieve the anxiety generated by the original obsession. The rituals involve repeated checking, hand washing or changing the clothes. The condition tends to follow a relapsing course. HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT & Medicines for Obsessive Compulsive DisorderHomeopathy does offer treatment for OCD. But the treatment is not very easy (compared to many other mood disorders) and a monitoring period of many years is required. While treating OCD, 'perseverance' is the keyword, both for the doctor and the patient. It takes long time to obtain long-term benefits. The treatment method remains consistent with the general homeopathic approach towards patient, disease, and cure. Some of the medicines commonly indicated in this condition are lachesis, acid-nitricum, anacardium, natrum-mur, arsenic-alb, thuja, sabadilla, stannum, medorrhinum etc. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT
