Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on OCD Disorder. It needs to be at least 1500 words. Previously classified by the Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM-IV-TR) as a form of anxiety disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is classified currently on its own, and it features an individual’s preoccupation with obsessive thoughts and the display of compulsive behaviors triggered by anxiety provoking stimuli. DSM-V outlines the following criteria for the classification of OCD.During the Dark Ages, when religion predominantly governed all facets of human existence, individuals suffering from obsessive thoughts just like those afflicted with blasphemous or sexual thoughts were believed to be possessed by evil spirits. Consequentially, the prescribed treatment entailed exorcising the evil spirits. Religion offered no factual justification for its diagnosis and treatment of OCD. therefore, the probability of recovery among those afflicted with the disorder was slim to none.Scientific advancements during the Enlightenment era offered a different perspective on the causes, diagnosis and possible treatment of OCD. Early physicians attributed the disorder to an imbalance in the body’s humors. According to them, restoring balance to the humors was achievable through bloodletting. These physicians distinguished between different types of compulsions and obsessions. for example, compulsive washing, checking, and sexual obsessions among others.In the early 1900s, scholars discovered a psychological component to the disorder. Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud posited that obsessive-compulsive thoughts were manifestations of unconscious conflicts. Freud hypothesized that external prohibitions toward specific actions such as touching, failed to abolish one’s desires to pursue those actions, as they resulted in repression.
