Stress & Symptoms

What is Stress & Symptoms--

Modern life is full of frustrations, deadlines, and demands. For many people, stress is so common place that it has become a way of life. Stress isn’t always bad, though. Stress within your comfort zone can help you perform under pressure, motivate you to do your best, even keep you safe when danger looms, But when stress becomes overwhelming, it can damage your health, mood, relationships and quality of life.

You can protect yourself by understanding how the body’s stress response works, recognizing the signs and symptoms of stress overload, and taking steps to reduce its harmful effects.

What is stress?

Stress is your body’s way of responding to any kind of demand or threat. When you feel threatened, your nervous system responds by releasing a flood of stress hormones, and including adrenaline and cortisol, which rouse the body for emergency action. Your heart pounds faster, muscles tighten, blood pressure rises, breath quickens, and your senses become sharper. These physical changes increase your strength and stamina, speed your reaction time and enhance your focus.

This is known as the “fight or flight” stress response and is your body’s way of protecting you. When working properly, stress helps you stay focused, energetic and alert. In emergency situations, stress can save your life giving you extra strength to defend yourself.

Stress can also help you rise to meet challenges. Stress is what keeps you on your toes during a presentation at work, sharpens your concentration when you’re attempting the game-winning free throw, or drives you to study for an exam when you'd rather be watching TV.

But beyond your comfort zone, stress stops being helpful and can start causing major damage to your mind and body.

obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

What is obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)?

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by uncontrollable, unwanted thoughts and repetitive, ritualized behaviors you feel compelled to perform. If you have OCD, you probably recognize that your obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors are irrational – but even so, you feel unable to resist them and break free.
Like a needle getting stuck on an old record, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) causes the brain to get stuck on a particular thought or urge. For example, you may check the stove twenty times to make sure it’s really turned off, wash your hands until they’re scrubbed raw, or drive around for hours to make sure that the bump you heard while driving wasn’t a person you ran over. 

Understanding OCD obsessions and compulsions

Obsessions are involuntary, seemingly uncontrollable thoughts, images, or impulses that occur over and over again in your mind. You don’t want to have these ideas but you can’t stop them. Unfortunately, these obsessive thoughts are often disturbing and distracting.

Compulsions are behaviors or rituals that you feel driven to act out again and again. Usually, compulsions are performed in an attempt to make obsessions go away. For example, if you’re afraid of contamination, you might develop elaborate cleaning rituals. However, the relief never lasts. In fact, the obsessive thoughts usually come back stronger. And the compulsive behaviors often end up causing anxiety themselves as they become more demanding and time-consuming.

Most people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) fall into one of the following categories:

   

Washers are afraid of contamination. They usually have cleaning or hand-washing compulsions.

    Checkers repeatedly check things (oven turned off, door locked, etc.) that they associate with harm or danger.

    Doubters and sinners are afraid that if everything isn’t perfect or done just right something terrible will happen or they will be punished.

    Counters and arrangers are obsessed with order and symmetry. They may have superstitions about certain numbers, colors, or arrangements.

    Hoarders fear that something bad will happen if they throw anything away. They compulsively hoard things that they don’t need or use.


Signs and symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

Most people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have both obsessions and compulsions, but some people experience just one or the other. 

OCD signs and symptoms: Obsessive thoughts

Common obsessive thoughts in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) include:

• Fear of being contaminated by germs  or dirt or contaminating others.    
• Fear of causing harm to yourself or others.
• Intrusive sexually explicit or violent thoughts and images.
• Excessive focus on religious or moral ideas.
  
• 
  
• Fear of losing or not having things you might need.
• Order and symmetry: the idea that everything must line up “just right.”
• 
  
•  Superstitions; excessive attention to something considered lucky or unlucky.

OCD signs and symptoms: Compulsive behaviors

Common compulsive behaviors in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) include:

•     Excessive double-checking of things, such as locks, appliances, and switches.
•     Repeatedly checking in on loved ones to make sure they’re safe.
•     Counting, tapping, repeating certain words, or doing other senseless things to reduce anxiety.
•     Spending a lot of time washing or cleaning.
•     Ordering or arranging things “just so.”
•     Praying excessively or engaging in rituals triggered by religious fear.
•     Accumulating “junk” such as old newspapers or empty food containers.

Therapy as treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

The most effective treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder is often

• cognitive-behavioral therapy. 
• Family therapy-----Because OCD often causes problems in family life and social adjustment, family therapy can often be beneficial.

1.  Family therapy promotes understanding of the disorder and can help reduce family conflicts.
2.  It can motivate family members and teach them how to help their loved one.

Know your Psychologist

Is i need counselling ?

if you feel following things then consider :-

1. You feel an overwhelming and prolonged sense of helplessness and sadness, and your problems do not seem to get better despite your efforts and help from family and friends. 
2. You are finding it difficult to carry out everyday activities: for example, you are unable to concentrate on assignments at work, and your job performance is suffering as a result. 
3. You worry excessively, expect the worst, or are constantly on edge.
4. Your actions are harmful to yourself or to others: for instance, you are drinking too much alcohol, abusing drugs, or becoming overly argumentative and aggressive

What is Psychologist and Psychotherapy?

Psychologists who specialize in psychotherapy and other forms of psychological treatment are highly trained professionals with expertise in the areas of human behavior, mental health assessment, diagnosis and treatment, and behavior change. Psychologists work with patients to change their feelings and attitudes and help them develop healthier, more effective patterns of behavior.

Psychologists apply scientifically validated procedures to help people change their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Psychotherapy is a collaborative effort between an individual and a psychologist. It provides a supportive environment to talk openly and confidentially about concerns and feelings. Psychologists consider maintaining your confidentiality extremely important and will answer your questions regarding those rare circumstances when confidential information must be shared.

Is Counselling Effective ?

According to a research summary from the Stanford University School of Medicine, some forms of psychotherapy can effectively decrease patients' depression, anxiety, and related symptoms such as pain, fatigue, and nausea. Research increasingly supports the idea that emotional and physical health are closely linked and that seeing a psychologist can improve a person's overall health.

There is convincing evidence that most people who have at least several sessions with a psychologist are far better off than individuals with emotional difficulties who are untreated. One major study showed that 50 percent of patients noticeably improved after eight sessions, while 75 percent of individuals in therapy improved by the end of six months.

What Is Depression?

  What Is Depression?

Depression is a state that affects a person's mind, emotions, and body; it affects how you feel, think and behave.

When feelings of extreme sadness or despair last for two weeks or more and begin to interfere with normal living, you may be a suffering from a depressive disorder. Depression is not just "sadness," individuals who have depression feel helpless, hopeless and tend to blame themselves for feeling this way. Some may even have thoughts of suicide or death.

most people with depression feel better with medication, psychological counseling or another form of treatment. Understanding the signs and symptoms of depression can go a long way in finding the most effective treatment option for you.

Signs and Symptoms of Depression

The severity, frequency and duration of symptoms will vary from person to person. However, there are some common signs and symptoms across most types of depression such as:

• A persistent feeling of sadness, anxiousness or emptiness that you just can't shake.
• Feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. A belief that nothing will ever get better and there’s nothing you can do.
• Strong feelings of worthlessness or guilt or being overly self-critical.
• Low tolerance for daily frustrations; generally irritable, restless or agitated.
• A general loss in the ability to feel pleasure or joy; no longer interested in former hobbies, pastimes, social activities or sex.
• Feeling physically drained or an overall sense of sluggishness. Your whole body may feel heavy, and completing a small task seems exhausting.
• Difficulty remembering details, making decisions or focusing on a single activity or topic.

• Insomnia, early-morning wakefulness or oversleeping (also known as hypersomnia).
• Overeating or loss of appetite resulting in significant weight gain or loss.
• Thoughts of suicide, or suicide attempts.

• Persistent, unexplained aches and pains such as headaches, muscles aches, cramps or digestive problems. 

Treatment for Depression

Depression, even the most severe cases, typically responds very well to treatment. Many individuals who seek treatment go on to lead healthy, productive lives. The specific treatment approach used will depend on the type of depression, its severity, and personal preferences. In general, most depressive disorders are treated with psychotherapy or counseling, medication, or some combination of the two.

Psychotherapy

There are two main types of psychotherapy that have proven to be effective in treating depression: cognitive–behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT).

• Cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) focuses on helping people change negative styles of thinking and behaving that may contribute to their depression and correcting or re-purposing the thinking process toward a more positive response.

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) focuses on helping people understand and work through troubled personal relationships that may cause their depression or make it worse.
