5.5 OCD - Characteristics
  1. DSM-5 recognises OCD as characterised either by obsessions and/or compulsion.
    1. Behavioural
      1. Compulsions are repetitive
        1. People with OCD feel compelled to repeat a behaviour, common ones include hand washing, praying or ordering groups of objects.
        2. Compulsions reduce anxiety
          1. Around 10% of people with OCD show compulsive behaviour alone, without obsessions but only a sense of irrational anxiety. These compulsive behaviours are performed in order to manage the anxiety.
          2. Avoidance
            1. Tend to try to manage their OCD by avoiding situations which may trigger anxiety. This avoidance could lead to people avoiding everyday ordinary activities.
          3. Emotional
            1. Anxiety and distress
              1. Regarded as an unpleasant emotional experience because of the overpowering anxiety that accompanies obsessions and compulsions. The urge to repeat a behaviour creates anxiety.
              2. Accompanying depression
                1. Accompanied by depression, so anxiety can be joined by low mood and lack of enjoyment. Compulsions tend to bring some relief.
                2. Guilt and disgust
                  1. May be accompanied by irrational guilt over for example minor moral issues, or disgust.
                3. Cognitive
                  1. Obsessive thoughts
                    1. For around 90% of people with OCD, the main cognitive feature is obsessive thoughts.
                    2. Cognitive coping strategies
                      1. People respond to obsessive thoughts by adopting cognitive coping strategies, for example a person tormented by religious guilt may respond by praying.
                      2. Insight into excessive anxiety
                        1. They are aware that these obsessions and compulsions are irrational, in fact being self aware is KEY in diagnosis.
