Mental Health(10)-Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder!(Pt.1)︳心理健康(十)—強迫症(上)

[Source:UNSPLASH]
I watch the seasonal Japanese drama - tomorrow's constraints today. I found that the actresses's mother has "persistent obsessive-compulsive disorder." So, I want to talk about "obsessive-compulsive disorder" here.

我在今季日劇—明日的約束裡,發現女主角的媽媽有「執著強迫症」。於是,今天想跟大家談談「強迫症」。

What Is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)?


Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder in which time people have recurring, unwanted thoughts, ideas or sensations (obsessions) that make them feel driven to do something repetitively (compulsions). The repetitive behaviors, such as hand washing, checking on things or cleaning, can significantly interfere with a person’s daily activities and social interactions.

強迫症是什麼?


強迫症 (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) 屬於焦慮症 (Anxiety Disorders) 中的一種病症,患者的腦中經常會浮現強迫性及重覆性的思想。這些想法會不停反覆出現,而出現的頻密程度會令患者覺得是不合理及不必要的,但是這些想法卻揮之不去,而且會令人極度緊張和不安,需要靠相關的行為來舒緩情緒,例如不停洗手、不斷重覆檢查門窗等等。
