Obsessive Compulsive Disorder – OCD Part 2
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder – Part 1 Dr. John Breeding, Ph.D. psychologist discusses what is termed obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD. Dr. Breeding discusses potential psychological causes of an obsession or a compulsion as well as how to discharge negative emotion and love oneself. Psychiatry often prescribes psychotic medications for obsessions and compulsions. Off label medication are often prescribed for this problem including mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, anxiety medications, antidepressants, etc. Common OCD medications include Paxil, Prozac, Luxox, Zoloft, Lexapro as well as a number of SSRI antidepressants. Other medications often prescribed but not necessarily approved for OCD by the FDA include, Neurontin, Lamictal, Zyprexas and Risperdal. All of these medications have undesireable side effects and do not address the underlying cause of the psychological disorder. None of these drugs are actual cures. Dr. Breeding discusses how to address obsessions and compulsions for a psychological model.

It's funnny u say dat because i had hv OCD for 3 years now, and only found out a year ago wat OCD was. i thought i was crazy and never told anyone about my issue. i use to tocuh the door handle more than 20 times for d day because i thought it wud make me safer. but i start to ting to my self. how does this help me. and thought it was stupid and stop. MY OCD is crazy, i thought i was the only person with this problem. but now i now millions of people hv it,
wot a load of shit, i have ocd and its a living hell i don't need someone who has not got it telling me wots it all about,I KNOW WOTS IT ALL ABOUT, the only people who can coment on ocd is people WHO HAVE IT AND THAT IS NOT YOU..
I have OCD, and you need to calm down, he makes valid arguments, and ultimately makes an enlightening video concerning this.
do u have thoughts and urges to rape and murder members of ur own family? that is wot ocd is all about and its hell, cheaking doors and washings etc is very tame ocd, i know.!!
Well, the whole premise for OCD is about rationality. When you truly believe that you will do these things if you dont perform a ritual or whatever.. you aren"t being rational. This video helps, in that, it enlightens an individual to see how unrational and how fake those thoughts and impulses are.
Acctualy there are 5 types of OCD and aparently you have checkers and obsessers. I know its hell, I have both of those also. I have a hint that helped me cope with it and I havnt had much of an issue since. Try letting in the thoughts and not fighting back. Doing this gradually will alow your brain to figure out why those images are there. Someone once told me that "If it keeps coming back then there is something that needs to be fixed."
I must say that with the first video I was having a hard time accepting what Dr. Breeding was saying and really disagreed with him. I have OCD. However, with watching the second video that he may be offering valid suggestions and rational approaches. The problem however, is I myself would not be here right now and for the most part a fully functioning human being working on myself if were not for the high doses of Luvox that I have been on for quite sometime. C.B. therapy wasnt enough
Part 2-The anxiety caused by the repetitive constant "stuck record "thinking was literally too much.t bear. To get to the place Dr. Breeding is discussing is possible for me only now because of the high dosage of meds and the length of time needed. I would never even be close to doing itwere it not for Luvox… I disagree with his assertion that there is nothing physical involved –just thinking…recent MRI's of children with OCD have shown differences in their brains from others.
Research Studies in OCD verses Medication Use show BOTH are EQUAL in effectiveness. One is NOT better than the other!
Choose your medicine-CBT or Medication?
Dr Breeding delivers
this made me realize that what I thought was a phobia towards chocolate ( that I suffered all my life ) may be an OCD towards hating chocolate instead.
Thoughts?…. is phobia also a non illness?? …. I know is all in my head but cant stop my self from doing exreme things to stay away from chocolate. …. help!
With all due respect, his theories have never shown any efficacy in the treatment of OCD. Psychodynamic therapies do nothing for OCD sufferers. Coginitive Behavioral Therapy, in which the the OCD patient gradually confronts the fears without indulging in rituals has shown great efficacy in reducing if not eliminating symptoms.CBT involves NO analysis of the problem itself or any sort of underlying cause, and it in fact discourages such approaches as that can make OCD WORSE.
For the irrational sort, maybe. But it's the easy way out for the lazy doctor. It also may depend on the intelligence of the sufferer. A less intelligent person, just try the exposure.
You could try Tony Robbins' approach of getting into a high emotional state and repeatedly linking a word like safe or good to chocolate??
Do you have any evidence that psychodynamic theories have any benefit for the sufferer? Do you even understand the nature of what OCD is? Many OCD themes cause the person to analyze the problem several times over. Are you honestly suggesting that thinking about the problem MORE is going to somehow solve it? Furthermore, unless psychodynamic therapy produces quicker or better results, I don't see how using exposures is 'lazy' if it produces the same or better results faster.
Actually, in the case of Einstein, it is very likely that he had something in the Autism spectrum, not OCD. The fact that you compare obsessive behavior to OCD demonstrates a lack of understanding about what OCD really is. As someone with OCD and who can also be obsessive, I can tell you that the key difference is anxiety. OCD rituals are performed to relieve anxiety. The behavior of those individuals is the result of passion, which is overall a positive emotion.
I LOVE this video.
please don't ever stop making videos. I will just die if that were to happen,jk.
he reminds me of malculay culkin
hha
haha @ 4: 50
hahahahaha. makes me laugh and this laughing is believe is therapuetic
how do you confront if it is your breathing and controlling your breathing? … i cant control my fear of chocking either in which i can barely eat…
it actually worked to forget about it for a while but its coming back
littleflower-Just watch the video on youtube called MEET YOUR MEAT by Alec Baldwin & then you will see something outside of yourself that will cause you to forget about yourself.Don"t be a coward & watch it to the end.
This guy lacks even the basic understanding of OCD this is a joke is so scary that the guy calls himself a psychologist please never again let this quack near a patient or a camera for that matter!!!
he saying if you learn to embrace it, you wont keep digging a deeper hole for yourself, dont you guys get it, if you acknowledge it it wont keep surfacing. relax and it wont be so freakin bad. Thats the cure for OCD you have to relax learn to calm down OCD is anxiety, the cure is to relax about it, dont worry okay
all of you who have it as much as I do, you have to take yourself to somewhere calm, take a bath or watch tv, the main cause for OCD is stress and you guys freaking out on what he is saying is stressing you out, it is not a disease, everybody has ocd in some way, touching a wall 8 10 12 times is your way of coping with stress, you have to learn to take a breather and you wont touch that wall so much if you believe you only have to touch it 5 times to relax.
.
if u have any patients i feel sorry for them…… until u have ocd dont try and put it down, u can read as many books you want, without having the feeling you dont and never will understand…..
@charlenekarras right on dude…i couldnt agree more
