Extractions: The Foundation is a research, educational, referral and information center, dedicated to mood disorders such as depression, manic depression, panic and anxiety states and obsessive compulsive disorders. It is the philosophy of the Foundation that these disorders are, in most cases, biologically caused and can be, for the most part, effectively and safely treated with non-addictive, mood-stabilizing medications, and in some cases with adjunctive psychotherapy and other psychological techniques. Yet millions of Americans experience unrecognized symptoms and therefore are untreated for mood disturbances that cause enormous suffering and hardship. The Foundation, under the leadership of Dr. Ronald F. Fieve, the American pioneer in the development of lithium therapy for bipolar disorder, also Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Columbia Presyterian Medical Center, endeavors to educate and inform the public to combat these problems. This can be done through the following programs: Aimed at biochemical, behavioral, and genetic understanding of the causes of depression and anxiety disorders and developing new drug treatments to alleviate them.

Extractions: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Obsessive compulsive disorder can occur in both children and adults. It is characterized by obsessions (repeated thoughts or images which cause distress) and compulsions (repetitive behaviors or rituals) These symptoms are often associated with significant anxiety and depression. The affected individual often fears that he is "'going crazy." Obsessions may often involve thoughts which seem unacceptable to the individual, so that he or she feels ashamed. Because of this, many people keep their thoughts a secret and suffer silently. In the past decade, there have been advances in the behavioral and pharmacological treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Extractions: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Depression Sexual Dysfunction Sexual Addiction ... HOME PAGE Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Obsessive compulsive disorder is an extremely unpleasant, difficult syndrome affecting about 6 to 8% of the population. It is made up of an obsessive or repetitive thought pattern as well as a compulsive, or acting-out behavior. About 75% of people who are obsessive are also compulsive. It can be something that is not that obvious, such as someone who checks the door two or three times before they leave the house, which doesn't interrupt their lifestyle that much. This is opposed to someone who can't go to sleep until they have gone through the house checking door locks a number of times and repeating it because something broke their concentration. Symptoms People who have obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), know who they are. They often keep it a secret. It usually starts in the adolescent years, intensifies until the early twenties, and then remains with the person throughout their life. It can be crippling. Some people who get up just to go to the bathroom and wash their hands, go through a 3-4 hour ordeal. The number of hand washings some people do per day can leave their skin brittle and in need of treatment. Some people can't function anywhere because of their compulsive need to ritualize their behavior.

OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER
ObsessiveCompulsive Disorder. (posted by Hopkins Technology). Ellsworth, ME DilligafPublishing, 1994. Greist, JH obsessive compulsive disorder A Guide.
http://www.hoptechno.com/ocd.htm

Extractions: (posted by Hopkins Technology) Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), one of the anxiety disorders, is a potentially disabling condition that can persist throughout a person's life. The individual who suffers from OCD becomes trapped in a pattern of repetitive thoughts and behaviors that are senseless and distressing but extremely difficult to overcome. OCD occurs in a spectrum from mild to severe, but if severe and left untreated, can destroy a person's capacity to function at work, at school, or even in the home. The following three case histories are typical for those who suffer from obsessive-compulsive disordera disorder that can be effectively treated. Isobel is intelligent, but she is failing her first period class in biology because she is either late to class or absent. She gets up at five o'clock, hoping to get to school on time. The next three hours are spent taking a long shower followed by changing clothes repeatedly until it "feels right." She finally packs and repacks her books until they are just right, opens the front door and prepares to walk down the front steps. She goes through a ritual of pausing on each step for a particular length of time. Even though she recognizes her thoughts and behaviors are senseless, she feels compelled to complete her rituals. Once she has completed these rituals, she makes a mad dash for school and arrives when first period is almost over. Meredith's pregnancy was a time of joyous anticipation. If she had moments of trepidation about taking care of a new baby, these times passed quickly. She and her husband proudly brought a beautiful, perfect baby boy home from the hospital. Meredith bathed and fed the baby, comforted him when he was restless, and became a competent young mother. Then the obsessional thoughts began; she feared that she might harm her child. Over and over again she imagined herself stabbing the baby. She busied herself around the house, tried to think of other things, but the distressing thought persisted. She became terrified to use the kitchen knives or her sewing scissors. She knew she did not want to harm her child. Why did she have these distressing, alien thoughts?

Devastating genetic diseases are sometimes hardwired into children. One such condition called OTC makes the protein that should fuel growth into a dangerous, toxic substance for these children. OTC robbed the lives of 4 sons of dear friends of mine. Gene therapy is the best hope on the horizon for OTC and many other genetic conditions. Here a child is given a virus that inserts the missing gene. Last month the 18th patient in the OTC gene therapy trial, Arizona teenager Jessee Gelsinger, died within days of getting the virus carrying his missing gene. It was the first known death linked to gene therapy. I'm saddened by the loss. I also salute the pioneers that participate in clinical trials. Their action advances the cause of health for all of us. Thank You.

Extractions: Your email: Welcome Home From our Bookstore Getting Control Overcoming Your Obsessions and Compulsions Six million Americans suffer from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and they know firsthand the often devastating effects it has on their lives. Some symptoms, such as the nagging feeling you have left the stovetop burner on, can be mildly distracting. Yet others, like compulsive hand washing, the inability to throw anything out, or nerve-racking feelings of guilt, can be completely paralyzing and make it nearly impossible for sufferers to lead healthy lives. Dr. Baer gives readers the tools to assess their own symptoms, set goals, and create therapeutic programs for themselves.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is, in short, the repetitive experience of obsessions and/or compulsions that eventually interfere with daily activities, causing the person with OCD to spend hours each day performing compulsive rituals. A common ritual is for the person to wash their hands a certain amount of times at a certain time in a certain order. For someone with an eating disorder, OCD manifests itself by leading the person to count calories methodically, exercise an EXACT amount at a specific time every day, cutting food up in a certain order and in specific shapes, having to have everything perfect (which includes weight), and so on. Because all of these activities are compulsions, meaning that they cannot be controlled until help is sought, it becomes impossible and unbearable for the person afflicted to try and stop on their own. who.suffers.from.this

Extractions: home self-help resources dr. wilson as your coach summary ... self-help resource for home obsessive-compulsive disorder Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Summary Obsessions are repetitive, unproductive thoughts that almost all of us have experienced from time to time. We can be driving down the road, ten minutes from home, heading for a week's vacation. Suddenly the thought enters our mind, "Did I unplug the iron after I finished with that shirt?" Then we think, "I must have...but I don't know, I was rushing around so at the last minute. Did I reach down and pull the cord out of the socket? I can't remember. Was the iron light still on as I walked out the door? No, it was off. Was it? I can't leave it on all week; the house will burn down. This is ridiculous!" Eventually we either turn around and head home to check as the only way to feel relieved, or we convince ourselves that we did indeed take care of the task. This is an example of what can take place inside the mind of any of us when worrying about a particular problem. Obsessive-compulsive disorder, however, is much more serious. In the mind of the person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, this pattern of thought is

Extractions: On Serendip Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder which can afflict a person throughout his lifetime: "The individual who suffers from OCD becomes trapped in a pattern of repetitive thoughts and behaviors that are senseless and distressing but extremely difficult to overcome" ( http:www.nimh.nih.gov/publicat/ocd.htm ). Obsessions and compulsions are the two main components of this disorder. The former are often highly negative such as an ever-present fear of germs. Compulsions such as repeated handwashings are rituals designed to lessen anxiety produced by obsessions. Depending on the severity, OCD can have an adverse affect on every realm of a person's life. The outlook is optimistic, however, because research has shown that even people suffering from severe OCD may benefit from medication, behavioral therapy, or a combination of the two. Researchers have gained much insight into the cause of the disorder by comparing OCD brains with "normal" brains. There is continued debate about whether OCD is caused by neurobiological factors, environmental influences, or both. There is at least evidence to show that the brains of OCD sufferers differ from "normal" brains in systematic ways: "Recent preliminary studies of the brain using magnetic resonance imaging showed that the subjects with OCD had significantly less white matter than did normal control subjects, suggesting a widely distributed brain abnormality in OCD" (
