OCD - Who Else Wants to Learn How to Deal With It?

One behavior that is very common among those who suffer with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is constant washing of their hands. It's as if they can never be clean enough for them. They seem to have a paralytic fear of germs.

Do you remember Jack Nicholson in As Good As It Gets and how he behaved? He never stood on a crack in the pathways or sidewalks. It was just one of his many obsessions.

This cannot be an easy condition to deal with, either for those who have it or for those who have to be around them on a daily basis.

Behavior modification is the only thing that can help those with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

OCD can cause tremendous stress on the ones living with this disorder as well as their friends, family or co-workers so visit my blog to discover ways to handle stress;

Let's have a Duel

Do you think that OCD is curable?

Loading

Yes, I believe there is a cure for everything.

Cari_Kay says:

I am really torn on this. While I don't think there is a possible cure in pill form or anything like that, I've seen people get better with therapy. Perhaps I want to believe the best since somebody I know struggles with this.

No, I think the person just has to accept it and live with it

nightbear says:

I have OCD, back in the day it was quite out of control but with effort and a lot of love from a perfect husband and a bit of therapy, I have learned to control it for the most part. Stress will cause it to rear its ugly head. But my life is very manageable now. So it may not be curable but it can be controlled.
