OCD Psychological Disorder

OCD is a disorder that people tenatively tend to be neat; grooming themselves, cleaning things, washing their hands, or having and absolute distaste for for being dirty. Other types of OCD include making movements and such that can't be controlled.  They have obesessions which are unwanted thoughts that occur throughout the day and then there are compulsions, which are repetitive behaviors.  Some theraputic ways to treat this disorder include social cognitive and active listening therapy, where the the therapist just listens to the patient and asks questions; rather than giving advice to help stop.  This helps the patient help themselves rather than just giving them a solution to their problem.  The biomedical approach to helping this disorder is medication that increases the seratonin in the body.  This helps relieve the bad thoughts that OCD patients get when they are obsessing, which helps them not compulse.

Social Disorder- ASP

Antisocial Personality Disorder is a disorder that is found to be linked to many male criminals.  They are very deviant and have no remorse for others.  They don't care how other people feel and only care about their actions.  Some of the examples in the book said that murderers would say that, "killing was just another habit, like smoking a cigarette."  I found this very disturbing how people can be like this.  For more info, click the link attached to find out more about Antisocial Personality Disorder.

The Need to Achieve

I thought it was interesting how people with a need to acheive, would pick the trash can to shoot at that was most likely to be accomplished.  People with no need to achieve would choose the one thats the farthest away so that they would have a crutch to blaim the fact that they missed.  I didn't know this before doing this demonstration.  I found out that I have a need to achieve because i shot for the one that i would make a decent amount of hypothetic money on and that i would be attainable at making.  My thought process was similar to the theory, but when i realized it, i was hindsightly biased.  This is the connection that i formed after this experiment.  I'm more likely to take moderate risks instead of huge risks, because i'll always want to succeed.
