- OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER, OR "OCD" IS ONE OF
THE MOST WELL DEFINED AND INTENSIVELY STUDIED OF
ALL MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH "BEING OBSESSED" OR "HAVING A COMPULSION" AS
THOSE TERMS ARE COMMONLY USED. RATHER:
- OCD INVOLVES TORMENTING THOUGHTS THAT YOU CAN'T
GET OUT OF YOUR MIND (CLINICAL OBSESSIONS), AND
ANYTHING YOU DO OVER AND OVER TO TRY TO GET RID
OF THEM (CLINICAL COMPULSIONS)
- MODERN COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL TREATMENT IS
EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE
- OCD BEARS A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP TO CHRISTIANITY
- FAITH CAN REPRESENT A SPECIFIC CURE
