There are many rehab centres in India, treating patients suffering from mental disorders which are usually not taken seriously by the society. There are several rehab outlets having the facilities of Schizophrenia Treatment in New Delhi, Obsessive Compulsive Disorders Treatment in New Delhi and also have the centres of Depression Treatment in New Delhi. These rehab centres usually get various complaints and comments about various notions which are intended to be followed by such patients, but just are societal myths. Today, we will discuss the most commonly heard myths about the patients suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is known to affect almost 2.3% of India’s population. However just like the other mental disorders, the mindset of people suffering from OCD come with a series of myths and notions. Thus, some of the most common myths are as follows:
- People suffering from OCD always keep themselves super organised, neat and tidy at all times: Not everyone suffering from OCD has a tendency of keeping themselves clean and tidy at all times. However, some patients do have a tendency to do so, but they are indeed mutually exclusive. Even if a patient has a clenailess compulsion, they do not always enjoy such rituals 50 times a day. However, the individual having such obsession will feel mandated to be clean at all times. Thus, everyone does not live in a ‘super neat world’, but some also live in a fear because of their obsession and feel catastrophic at times that if their personal items are thrown out, where will they stand with their anxiety issues.
- OCD is only about maintaining cleanliness: Maintaining cleanliness can only be considered as a mere symptom of OCD, which is not commonly seen in every OCD patient. The disorder mainly refers to a specific presence of recurrent and persistent thought processes which are sheerly unwanted with repetition of physical activities on the move too, with the presence of mental act too, which can cause reduction of stress if the obsession takes the form of action, thus terming it as compulsions. Now these compulsions are not always related to the process of cleanliness, thus this is an absolute myth which is followed by society.
- People suffering with OCD are considered to be highly neurotic and upright: It is a fact that OCD is a diagnosable mental health condition, but the relation between neuroticism and OCD is a high misconception which is followed by society. It is a sheer insult to call someone suffering from OCD as an absolute neurotic, as it is a derogatory and a condescending insult for the individual which can also cause anxiety and stress within the individual’s mind. They thus feel humiliated because of their condition as the obsessions also at times turn into irrational and unrealistic measures as well.
