According to my new book "Principles and Rehabilitation of Obsessive Compulsive Disease", the truth of Obsessive Compulsive Disease includes the following three points:
The first truth is the mechanism of obsessive compulsive disorder itself, namely the psychological and physiological mechanisms. This mechanism has reasonable causal relationships and scientific explanations.
For example, infighting in obsessive-compulsive disorder, the interaction between psychology and physiology is formed, and psychological experience causes physiological emergency. Physiological stimulation can also cause psychological experience if it is reversed.
These are common symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder and neurosis.
For example, obsessive-compulsive disorder in blinking, the more you pay attention to your eyes, the more intense your symptoms (blinking) will occur. The stronger the symptoms, the more you will be afraid and attention.
This is to explore the causal relationship between the symptoms itself.
In fact, any disease will have a certain impact on the patient.
The symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder are both the result and the cause.
In Qiushui theory, there is a "five cause diagram" and a "complex fear formation diagram" (as shown below), which vividly describes this process.
We can regard A and S in the figure as symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and P, M, and R as the causes behind the symptoms.
M is the traumatic memory of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, R is the patient's cognitive attitude towards obsessive-compulsive disorder and related factors, and P is the real environment.
A is the memory of obsessive-compulsive disorder awakened, A1, A2, A3... is complex fear or compulsive thinking, and S is compulsive behavior.
After obsessive-compulsive symptoms occur, if you are worried, traumatic memory M will be formed.
Every time I encounter a familiar scene or conditional stimulus, the memory of obsessive-compulsive disorder will be awakened. Then there will be suppression, and of course there will be countermeasures, which will lead to internal strife, resulting in compulsive behavior.
No! After the forced behavior S occurs, you feel that you are at a disadvantage, it is unreasonable, and then you are resentful and form M again. It is not difficult to see above
, yesterday's cause today's result; today's result tomorrow's cause.
The "result" of obsessive-compulsive disorder will lead to the next "cause" of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and a vicious cycle between each other.
For example, Yu Guang obsessive-compulsive disorder, because of high pressure and high fear and nervousness, he will pay close attention to his Yu Guang, and the more obsessive-compulsive disorder will occur. After the attack, you will definitely be sad and entangled, resulting in greater stress and fear, which is such a vicious cycle.
The second truth is that any psychological illness or psychological problem does not exist alone. It must have a certain social background and is formed and developed under a certain social environment.
For example, the more you pay attention to it, the more you will be afraid and the more you will have stuttering; the more you fight with it and get entangled with it, the heavier the stuttering. This is an interaction or causal relationship between the psychological and physiological symptoms of stuttering, which is convincing.
However, people usually ignore the relationship between the existence of stuttering and the social environment. In other words, stuttering does not exist alone, but its formation has certain social relations.
For example, others always laugh at him, others always remind him, and society discriminates against him. If you have stuttering, many employers just don’t need you. If no one in this world laughs at, reminds or discriminates against stuttering patients, if stuttering does not affect their social function, how could they be so inferior and painful? The same is true for
Obsessive-compulsive disorder. If no one in this world laughs, condemns or discriminates against Yu Guang’s coercion, if coercion does not affect their social function, how could obsessive-compulsive disorder patients be so inferior and in pain?
The third truth is the relationship with the way of heaven. In addition to the relationship with society, man and nature also influence each other.
How do people get along with nature? Should they follow nature, follow the way of heaven, and integrate harmoniously with nature, or do they violate nature and rebelliously against the way of heaven? This is all about the long-term interests of mankind.
The allusion of Dayu's flood control interprets how man and nature should get along.
Tiandao includes many. One yin and one yang are called Tao. Heaven and earth are all related to the opposition and unity of yin and yang. Alone yang does not arise, and alone yin does not grow. Yin and Yang exist and complement each other, which is the way of heaven. The role of yin and yang balance is very important. If it is artificially broken, it will face disasters.
In addition to their own efforts, the success of people must also be a bit of God's will.
Researchers cannot separate obsessive-compulsive disorder from the whole and study it unilaterally. They must follow the integrity of heaven, earth and man.
This is the truth of obsessive-compulsive disorder and the ultimate treatment principle of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
