TOC: Obsessive-compulsive disorder

"trastorn obsessiu-compulsiu"

                                                    
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a mental disorder characterized by the presence of obsessions and compulsions.

Obsessions: are thoughts, mental images or unwanted and recurrent impulses that cause discomfort and anxiety. Some of the most common are the fear of germs and pollution, the obsession with symmetry and order, or the fear of forgetting or losing something.

Compulsions: are repetitive behaviors that the affected people develop to face the obsessions and prevent or alleviate the anxiety that they generate. Constantly washing hands, arranging and arranging objects in a particular or determined way, repeatedly verifying some actions (for example, if the door of the house has been closed) or performing mental rituals (for example, praying in a certain way and a number of times), are some examples.
These obsessions and compulsions can seriously interfere in the development of the activities of daily life.



El trastorn obsessivocompulsiu és un trastorn mental que es caracteritza per la presència d’obsessions i compulsions.


-Les obsessions són pensaments, imatges mentals o impulsos no desitjats i recurrents que causen malestar i ansietat. Algunes de les més freqüents són la por als gèrmens i a la contaminació, l’obsessió per la simetria i l’ordre, o la por a oblidar o perdre alguna cosa.

-Les compulsions són comportaments repetitius que les persones afectades desenvolupen per fer front a les obsessions i prevenir o alleujar l’ansietat que els generen. Rentar-se les mans constantment, ordenar i organitzar els objectes d’una manera particular o determinada, verificar repetidament algunes accions (per exemple, si s’ha tancat la porta de casa) o realitzar rituals mentals (per exemple, resar d’una forma i un nombre de vegades determinats), en són alguns exemples.

Aquestes obsessions i compulsions poden arribar a interferir greument en el desenvolupament de les activitats de la vida diària.

“I'll make up for it tomorrow” and other phrases that create a toxic relationship with food “Demà compens” i altres frases que generen una relació tòxica amb el menjar. A slice of cake, a tasting menu, or a lavish banquet are often the elements that provoke this phrase, as if eating were a crime and the next day's hunger were a punishment. "There's nothing to compensate for," Azahara Nieto concludes. "In the end, food is neither a reward nor a punishment. So if I ate more today, I can continue with my life, but above all because that generates excessive and restrictive behaviors and generally ends up generating guilt about food." When we subject our body to long periods of hunger, other factors are added to the equation: from thinking about food obsessively to dysmenorrhea (loss of menstruation). Una llesca de pastís, un menú degustació o un banquet fastuós són sovint els elements que provoquen aquesta frase, com si menjar fos un delicte i la gana de l...
