Genetic footprints in obsessive-compulsive disorder

The faculty member of the university continued: Obsession can manifest itself with various symptoms, some patients may only suffer from obsessive thoughts, for example, the person constantly struggles with himself lest others are offended by my behavior or words, of course, this is the point. that these cases should be separated and daily preoccupations should not be confused with symptoms of obsession. If the stress caused by the look and judgment of others goes beyond the normal limits and creates anxiety for a person, it can be a sign of obsessive behavior.
He reminded: The most common signs of obsession are checking and washing. Also, constant worry about the possibility of hurting others and disturbing, dangerous and disturbing thoughts can be symptoms of obsession.

Obsession and its connection with physical problems

The faculty member of the university pointed out the common treatments for people suffering from obsessions and said: The treatment of people suffering from obsessions is usually combined drug and psychotherapy, but it should be noted that the treatment of this disease takes time and requires patience.
Children from obsessive families are at risk of suffering from this disorder
He paid attention to the impact of the environment on obsessive-compulsive disorder and said: Obsession can be aggravated in families where obsessive behaviors exist genetically, in children through learning in the environment, but genetic factors are very important in this disease. Because if only environmental effects are considered, these behaviors will disappear after the conditions improve.
At the end, Moatadyan explained that obsession is a psychiatric disease: this disease is very annoying for the person and the people around him. You should be patient for treatment, but definitely living with obsession is a painful life, so you should ease this condition by visiting a doctor.
