"Until the 1980s, about 2 in every 1,000 people were
thought to be affected by O.C.D. Recent studies have revised this figure to
2 out of every 100 people. But it could be even more common, because
sufferers often conceal the disorder from other people."

Obsessive
Compulsive Disorder (which is actually a complete misnomer)
Obsessive
actions and behaviours are quite different from Compulsive actions
and behaviours and indeed the thought processes of the Obsessive are very
different to that of the Compulsive.
The greatest difference is the fact that the Obsessive gains no relief from
the enactment of his or her obsessive thoughts or the actions which they
repeatedly perform to relieve the symptoms which they suffer but
unfortunately this only serves to produce more anxiety and distress.
The Compulsive does have some reward for their inexplicable thoughts and
actions in the shape of an easing of their symptoms for a short while at
least.
With this in mind here the explanation of the
Obsessive Compulsive
disorder.
Always common are recurrent obsessional thoughts or compulsive acts. Obsessional thoughts are ideas, images or impulses that enter in a persons
thought processes again and again in a very stereo-typical form. The Obsessive-compulsive is well aware that these thoughts "often
frightening or disgusting" to person come from themselves but has no control
over them.

Secondary Symptoms of Obsessional actions and
Obsessional thinking ,the Compulsions or drives
Obsessive thoughts drive a need to relieve
tension and ease the suffering of the constant effort needed
to control these intrusive urges and thoughts. Compulsive
actions, act as a way of controlling these thoughts and so
habits are formed and become rituals which in turn become a
way of life.
I have listed some of the more common
compulsive actions which often affect the individual suffering
with Obsessional thoughts and urges
Trichotillomania
- an almost
uncontrollable urge to pull out or twist hair,
which can result in hair loss and bald patches
Body
dysmorphic
disorder
(BDD)
-
sufferers imagine they have a defect in and part of their
physical appearance, this leads to a need to frequently check
themselves in the mirror or try to camouflage the body part
(clothes, piercings, tattoos etc)
Kleptomania -
a failure to resist impulses to steal objects not needed for
personal use or financial gain
Compulsive sexual behaviour -
uncontrollable sexual thoughts or behaviour
Compulsive shopping - excessive
and unnecessary shopping for items which are often not even
removed from the package or in the case of clothes ever worn.
Pathological gambling - Out of
control gambling that results in financial problems
Intermittent Explosive Disorder -
violent outbursts of rage that can result in serious assaults
and destruction to property
Pyromania - often over looked as
a secondary symptom of obsession the uncontrollable urge to
start fires, associated with a release of tension can
obviously cause a great deal of trouble for the fire starter
