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.
