PCH Now Treats Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Los Angeles (I-Newswire) December 19, 2011 - They had just married, and the new couple wanted to invite some family members over for a backyard barbecue. When the family arrived, they were ushered directly into the back yard. After the burgers had been consumed, one of the guest asked to use the bathroom. Visibly annoyed, the hostess let the guest in the back door. She followed behind him, sweeping up debris she perceived he was tracking into the house. Later, while cleaning up, guests were puzzled to see her wipe the entire outdoor dining table repeatedly even though there was not a crumb left on it.

The hostess mentioned above is just one of the many victims of obsessive-compulsive disorder. While she is labeled by friends and family as “the neat freak” or “such a perfectionist”, in truth she would love to stop her behavior.

Fear of contamination is just one of many obsessions that can occur in a person with this disorder. A person with OCD cannot control the distressing thoughts that play through his mind repetitiously, therefore he acts in compulsive ways to put an end to them. Rituals such as repeatedly washing one's hands or checking to make sure the door is locked are an attempt to quell the anxiety caused by these disturbing thoughts. When they disrupt a person’s life or center around harming himself or another person, they can be quite dangerous.

Fortunately, help is available for obsessive-compulsive disorder. An OCD treatment center Los Angeles residents have come to trust is the Psychological Care and Healing Treatment Center.

After thorough evaluation by a psychologist, an OCD sufferer is placed in a program that offers psychotherapy sessions four times a week. Medication is carefully monitored with the goal of making its role as minimal as possible in the healing regimen. Holistic therapies are also employed to help the patient recover.

The PCH Treatment Center also functions as a manic depression treatment clinic for those diagnosed with manic depression and a depression residential treatment center for those suffering with severe depression. This self injury treatment clinic
offers programs for the whole family, sessions on a weekly basis for less severe cases and intensive treatment for those needing immediate and ongoing help. Although psychological issues are its first concern, the PCH Center also treats chemical dependency when it occurs along with these issues.
