Hello dear blog readers! The condition when a person is overcome by obsessive ideas, depriving him of control over his life, is called neurosis, or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD for short). And today we will find out what is the difference between these two diagnoses, what is the reason for their occurrence, and, of course, how to deal with them.
Difference of concepts
Although the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder and OCD are exactly the same, and they are often confused, there is one huge difference between them. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a severe type of disorder. And this is already psychiatry, and requires treatment under supervision, and a person can completely cope with neurosis on his own.
Just imagine what a person who is disturbed by obsessive thoughts experiences. When he decided to search the Internet for an explanation of his condition and came across a terrible diagnosis of OCD, which is even included in the ICD-10 list, the international classifier of diseases?
When the anxiety for one’s own health is going through the roof, it’s scary and embarrassing for anyone to admit it. After all, they will consider it abnormal, they will not understand, and then they can remember for a long time, manipulating and using it as an argument of not common sense during conflicts. It’s even scarier to go to a specialist and find out confirmation that he is really mentally ill.
But, I want to reassure you, a person who realizes that he has problems, that he does not behave quite normally, and that he does not like this state in any way, does not have OCD. Do you know why? When a person has obsessive-idea syndrome, they retain critical thinking. Realizing that some actions are not quite adequate, which negatively affects his self-esteem and causes severe stress, only aggravating the symptoms.
And the one who has obsessive-compulsive disorder is sure that he acts quite rationally. For example, washing your hands 150 times a day is quite normal and let others take care of their hygiene better, especially if they want to contact him.
And they get to the doctor not at all because they are worried about their obsessed behavior, but with a completely distant problem. Let’s say that the skin on the hands will peel off from excessive frequent contact with detergents, categorically denying the root cause of their trouble, which the specialist will point to. So, if you have a frightening thought about your abnormality, calm down. Examine the symptoms and proceed with the following recommendations.

- Often appearing fantasies, desires. You have to make an effort to forget about them, which further aggravates the situation.
- Anxiety and fear almost never leave, even if a person is distracted by something. They will be present in the background, unexpectedly “popping up” at any moment and thus not giving the opportunity to relax and forget.

Moreover, it may well develop into aggressiveness, and as a result, avoiding contact with other people. Because, in addition to being annoying, communication with them brings more unpleasant emotions than positive ones. Hence there is a desire to minimize the intersection with anyone.
- Physical discomfort. A victim of one’s own ideas can bring oneself to the appearance of symptoms resembling those of serious illnesses. The difficulty is that doctors cannot make a diagnosis. For example, the heart may hurt, but after making a cardiogram, it turns out that everything is in order with it. Then there will be suspicions about the simulation of the disease, but the person suffering from obsession will become even more worried. After all, he really experiences pain and ailments, and specialists do not prescribe treatment, which causes fear that he has a serious illness, because of which he risks dying, and no one is doing anything. Usually complaints about problems with the stomach, heart, panic attacks, when anxiety suddenly arises, up to the point that there is no way to breathe. Also back pain, neck pain, tics, etc.

- complexes and phobias. If a person, at some stage, has not coped with his task of development, remaining at the same level, he will not have the resources to overcome problem situations. This will negatively affect self-esteem, respectively, causing fear and shame in front of others, which over time can turn into a phobia. For example, if a teenager cannot cope with the changes that occur during puberty, especially when there is nothing and no one to rely on. He doesn’t have his own experience, the situation is new for him, which is why he can get hung up on something.
