OCD & Severe Anxiety Q & A
Anxiety, or feelings of worry or apprehension, is normal for most people. Anxiety is considered severe if it is part of your life on a daily basis and if your symptoms affect your daily living, job, and relationships.
Many things cause severe anxiety, including genetics, traumatic life events, stressful lifestyle, and certain medical conditions. The underlying causes and symptoms of your severe anxiety are unique to you.
Symptoms may include:
- Racing or irregular heartbeat
- Restlessness
- Irritability
- Frequent fearful thoughts
- Feeling fearful or panicked
- Constantly worried or fretful
- Sleeplessness
Your anxiety symptoms may present in a variety of settings and circumstances. Treatment is often necessary to help you better manage your life with less worry.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition that causes severe anxiety due to repetitive, fearful thoughts that compel you toward certain behaviors. Behaviors like repeated tapping, counting, or hand washing are done in an attempt to relieve anxiety and quiet unwanted, repetitive thought patterns.
Your behaviors, like your own thoughts, are unique to you. They may be more exaggerated in some settings than others and may center on specific themes.
Common OCD behaviors include:
- Counting in specific patterns
- Counting items around you
- Repeating words or phrases
- Washing hands
- Locking doors or checking the stove
- Pulling hair or causing pain in some way
Symptoms may worsen as you age or when you are under extreme stress. Treatment is aimed at relieving the underlying anxiety compelling you toward these behaviors.
Ketamine is a safe, effective treatment that offers relief to those with severe anxiety and OCD. This medication affects your body on the chemical level, helping to relieve the underlying chemical activity that makes your anxiety and OCD symptoms worse.
