TRASTORNO OBSESIVO COMPULSIVO (TOC) Y NEUROSIS OBSESIVA: ¿cuál es la diferencia?
Teszkiewicz,Luis ;Averbach,Marina, (2008). TRASTORNO OBSESIVO COMPULSIVO (TOC) Y NEUROSIS OBSESIVA: ¿cuál es la diferencia?. Personapsi.
En Resumen:
La Neurosis Obsesiva puede corresponderse al Trastorno Obsesivo Compulsivo, al Tr
astorno Obsesivo Compulsivo (o Anancástico) de la Personalidad o, incluso, a otros trastornos de los manuales diagnósticos (por ejemplo: algunos trastornos del humor en los que la coloración afectiva depresiva predomina como principal manifestación de lo que podría considerarse una neurosis obsesiva).
- La Neurosis Obsesiva admite casos egosintónicos, no así los trastornos obsesivos que figuran en los manuales. Podemos decir que una persona tiene una Personalidad Obsesiva, pero no podemos clasificarla como Trastorno de Personalidad si las características de su personalidad no le producen desórdenes o “disturbios” a él mismo o a terceros.

Theatre
October 9, 2011 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- A professional theater company has been performing stories about people who struggle with mental illness.
This week, the theater company "Erasing the Distance," is doing an entire show on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
OCD is the fourth-most diagnosed psychiatric disorder. It's a neuro-biological condition that causes ritualistic behaviors and thoughts. "OCD: Real Stories, Real People" will be performed Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Ann Sather Restaurant, 909 W. Belmont Ave., Chicago. Tickets are $10 per person or $5 for students.
"We use theater to shed a light on issues of mental health, so that can be anything from depression to anxiety to things like OCD," Said Brighid O'Shaughnessy, who founded the company six years ago. "We do it by gathering true stories and then taking those tru stories and sculpting them into monologues and scenes that then come to plays."
The theater company has been working with OCD Chicago and its executive director, Ellen Sawyer.
"Unlike some of the major physical diseases like cancer and heart disorders, brain disorders aren't as popular, and a lot of people don't really want to talk about them," Sawyer said.
O'Shaughnessy said many people think OCD behaviors are visual, but many who suffer try to hide their symptoms.
"One of our story tellers has issues with germs and with the bathroom and cleanliness that's part of what his OCD surrounds and he talked about being in college and literally going to bathrooms off the beaten path."
In addition to professional actors performing, there will be people with OCD telling their personal stories as part of the performance.
"We've been working hard to raise the awareness of having Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and teaching people that it's an illness and it's not their fault and that there is a treatment for it," Sawyer said. "I think more people are coming forward and feeling more comfortable about it."

New Mothers At Risk Of OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder)
Nordqvist, Joseph ( 2013). New Mothers At Risk Of OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder).Medical News Today.
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/257316.php
This article speak about the danger what new mothers have to suffer Obssesive compulsive disorder.
The researchers identified symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder in 11 percent of women at their second week and sixth month following childbirth, compared to only 2 percent in the rest of the population.
This is the first study of its kind to observe obsessive-compulsive symptoms in mothers after giving birth.
The symptoms are generally only temporary and include such fears as injuring the baby or being exposed to germs. The researchers believe that if the symptoms interfere with their everyday functioning, then it could indicate a psychological disorder.
Dana Gossett, MD, senior author of the study and chief and assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, said:
The researchers' own upsetting thoughts following birth led them to set out to determine whether the feelings were common among all women.
Emily Miller, MD, and lead author of the study, said: "A compulsion is a response to those obsessive thoughts, a ritualistic behavior that temporary allays the anxiety but can't rationally prevent the obsession from occurring."
OCD can be caused by stress, which may explain why situations such as pregnancy can predispose women to the disorder.
The most common thoughts that were on the minds of women in the study were about dirt or germs, said Miller.
Some even had intrusive thoughts that involved harming their baby.
Miller said: "That can be emotionally painful.You don't intend to harm the baby, but you're fearful that you will."
Gossett mentioned that when she gave birth to her first child she constantly worried about damaging her baby somehow. "It comes into your mind unbidden and it's frightening," she said.
A total of 461 women participated in the study, they were all surveyed at their second week and then 329 were surveyed again at six months - following giving birth. They were recruited during their delivery at Northwestern Memorial. All symptoms were self-reported.
Close to half of the participants said that their OCD symptoms got better by six months. However, new women reported that they experienced symptoms that weren't there during the first two weeks postpartum.

Dana Gossett, MD, senior author of the study and chief and assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, said:
"It may be that certain kinds of obsessions and compulsions are adaptive and appropriate for a new parent, for example those about cleanliness and hygiene. But when it interferes with normal day-to-day functioning and appropriate care for the baby and parent, it becomes maladaptive and pathologic."

Para más datos, más del 70% de los gusanos auditivos se basan en canciones con letra, y las instrumentales son franca minoría. Hay casos extremos: en los músicos y personas con trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo es más común que ocurra muy a menudo.

Muchas veces la idea paranoide y la obsesión de estas situaciones pueden llegar al tipo, paranoia o al TOC puro o cognitivo. El sujeto no puede evitar dejar de pensar en la melodía, que lo atormenta y le provoca insomnio.

Dibujos
Puesto que el trastorno obsesivo compulsivo puede degradarse en una esquizofrenia, nos parece adecuado dedicarle algunos apartados, lejos de todo este mundo obsesivo.
No sean tomadas estas publicaciones como apartados desviamos del tema a tratar, simplemente consideramos todas sus variantes y consecuencias importantes.
Como novedad, esta publicación se centrará en los dibujos realizados por esta enfermedad. Ya que resuelta realmente curioso que mediante la pintura seamos capaces de intentar ver parte de ese submundo en el que viven estas personas.
Este blog se especializa en trabajar con pinturas elaboradas por pacientes con esquizofrenia. Realmente merece la pena pasarse por este blog y echar un vistazo.

Los impostores
Es hora de meternos en la alocada mente de Roy, un personaje afectado por trastorno obsesivo compulsivo que hace que su vida se haga no solo difícil, sino solitaria. Una película totalmente recomendada, para tomar con un bol de palomitas y meterse en el día a día de una persona afectada por este problema.
