OCD means obsessive-compulsive disorder, and according to science, it is a mental condition
that causes repetitive and uncontrollable behaviors.
And believe it, it can affect people's lives very seriously.
Very hard to be diagnosed.
This disorder goes from washing your hands all the time or even biting your nails to
keep yourself in a pattern.
Symptoms of OCD include changes in behavior, rituals or compulsions, repetitions, avoidance,
in thoughts, excessive worries, doubts, unwanted or bad thoughts, obsessions, and in emotions,
fear, discomfort, distress, guilt, depression.
People who suffer from this mental disorder also suffer from lots of fears.
Usually, your doctor may suggest a treatment with a behavioral therapist and also prescribe
some medicine to alleviate the constant tension.
If that's your case, besides fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, and sertraline, there are also
some natural alternatives that may help you.
According to a study published in the Journal of Anxiety Disorders, a week of moderate aerobic
exercises can help reduce compulsions.
Very interesting, right?
Now you have one more reason to go to the gym.
Did you know that meditating can help decrease these symptoms?
Everybody is talking about meditation nowadays.
Try looking for a guided meditation group and start practicing it to improve your life.
Meditation also brings many benefits to your health.
Besides those things, borage oil and milk thistle may also be helpful to alleviate this
very common disorder.
Borage oil contains gamma-linolenic acid, an anti-inflammatory that can reduce anxiety.
In this case, you can consume capsules of borage oil, which can be found in stores that
sell natural products, and also online.
Milk thistle, which we have already talked about on the channel, is as efficient as fluoxetine,
but completely natural.
According to a study published in the National Institute of Medicine and Health of the United
States, just 600 mg of the extract of this plant is enough to enjoy the benefits very
similar to those offered by 30 mg of fluoxetine.
