OCD is very strong painful constant impulse with hopelessness, unsatisfactoriness, fearfulness, boringness, anger, tiredness , headache, restlessness, no readiness, withdrawal , and escape.
this was really validating as someone with ocd. I'm so tired of when I say I have OCD and someone is like "me too! I hate when my pens aren't organized!" Like I wish I could describe to them what a horror it is living with OCD and how much it sucks your life away. I remember seeing an comic-type drawing of a starved wolf, with the caption "I have to keep doing it," and the next picture is like his bloodshot eyes, with the caption "I hate it," a picture of his ribcage, "I'm tired", a picture of his torn up, bleeding feet, "It hurts..." and then it zooms up to a birds eye view and you see that he's walking in a circle over and over, marked by the blood from his feet, with the caption "...but I have to keep doing it." Like that. Nothing has ever made me feel as seen as that picture. That's exactly what it feels like.
This truly is an amazing explanation, its not just about being neat, it's being obsessive about frankly mostly nonsense and the amount of time and energy spent on it to the point of making yourself get constant paranoia and headaches and it only gets more destructive as the loop adapts itself to everything in your life. Thanks You for the explanation, but I wish you would have explained more about how to treat the bad thoughts in your brain than just dealing with physical things like doorknobs.
Thanks for your excellent job! There's a small mistake in the lesson: obsessions are not always ego dystonic in OCD. Check specifications in dsm-5: OCD with good, poor, or absent insight. In the last one obsessions are ego syntonic.
Thank you for your books and videos. Would you consider writing a book or creating videos for advanced psychiatry/psychopharmacology practitioners that are already seasoned? Maybe clinical practice pearls, deep dives into medication regimens etc..
It's something I would consider in the future! Right now I'm focused on helping people get the basics down, but once I have those core videos out I would love to switch to some more advanced topics. 😊
@@MemorablePsych yes, hope more videos come out in detail about the different kinds of personality disorders, since those also effect people with OCD or other mental health issues, and effect people interaction with others.
The worst part is trying to explain this to a psychologist and they keep responding with "okay so you have a desire to kill yourself and others". I'm trying to explain to them there's no intent or desire and they keep saying "desire, intent, feeling, thoughts. They are all the same" Wtf
what do you think about "Pure-Obsessive OCD"? aka intrusive thoughts but not acting with compulsion on them or the compulsions happen within ones own mind? Also, this talks about how the main form of treatment is to disconnect the compulsions from the thoughts through exposure and psychotherapy, but wouldn't that mean that the obsessive thoughts themselves are not actually addressed? only the resulting behaviour?
I don't clim ladders because as soon as I do, I have thoughts on jumping off, same if I go on any kind of heights or large bodies of water, I'm so afraid that I stay away from this places now
It's like the brain accuses us of evil crimes and makes _us_ prove we're not guilty. I have tried to respond to these intrusive thoughts and notions by ordering my mind to prove I'm guilty. With no evidence existing that I have done the evil, charges dropped, and case _dismissed._
She also tormented herself waiting 3 to 5 hours to be taken to yoga or ice cream or wherever she needs to go she will wake up at 3, 4 or5 in the morning tray to call her daughter or friend and she started waiting and asking me almost every 3 minutes for the time who is coming to pick her and that the person is late and she may not come, etc.
Good morning from Greece. I'm apologizing for my English. Would you agree that thinking again and again your past, your choices, just being obsessed with thinking faces, facts, without having compulsions, is more likely a generalized anxiety disorder than OCD?
What do you do about intrusive thoughts? They don't always turn into compulsions, they're just there roaming your mind so you can't use this method at the end of the video
She is in denial she does not take med and she thinks that she is very young she is 81years-old. I hope somebody read this an may can give me N advice. Thanks Sorry for the Typos.
Thank you for not turning this into an "OCD = excessive handwashing" video.
Intrusive thoughts are like those blinking pop-up ads on websites that wont let you proceed further until you give it some kind of attention.

this is by far the most horrifying comment I've seen on the internet.
Wow, not horrified but I see better now.

As soon as I heard "did I lock the front door" from the video I was done for.
She also tormented herself waiting 3 to 5 hours to be taken to yoga or ice cream or wherever she needs to go she will wake up at 3, 4 or5 in the morning tray to call her daughter or friend and she started waiting and asking me almost every 3 minutes for the time who is coming to pick her and that the person is late and she may not come, etc.

This video Amazing thank you 🩷

Then you aren't OCD
