𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐀𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰 A young mother is extremely focused on the health of her 16 month old child. She cleans constantly in an effort to keep her house immaculate for fear that dirt will harm her baby, checks the lock on the door at least 10 times before retiring to bed, and gets up 8-10 times/night to check that her child is still breathing. She realizes that her fears are irrational but persists with these behaviors.All this effort and anxiety is wearing her out, but she feels she must persist with the activities in order to protect her child from harm.

The correct answer is Choice C In obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) sufferers experience distressing intrusive obsessive thoughts that may or may not be followed by the person’s feeling the need to perform repetitive acts in order to reduce their anxiety about the obsession: these actions are called compulsions. The diagnosis of OCD is made by cataloguing the patient’s symptoms and then comparing them to the diagnostic criteria listed below: The patient must display either obsessions or compulsions with obsessions defined by (a), (b), (c), and (d) and compulsions defined by (e) and (f): (a) recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images that are experienced, at some time during the disturbance, as intrusive and inappropriate and that cause marked anxiety or distress (b) the thoughts, impulses, or images are not simply excessive worries about real-life problems (c) the person attempts to ignore or suppress such thoughts, impulses, or images, or to neutralize them with some other thought or action (d) the person recognizes that the obsessional thoughts, impulses, or images are a product of his or her own mind (not imposed from without as in thought insertion) (e) repetitive behaviors (e.g., hand washing, ordering, checking) or mental acts (e.g., praying, counting, repeating words silently) that the person feels driven to perform in response to an obsession, or according to rules that must be applied rigidly (f) the behaviors or mental acts are aimed at preventing or reducing distress or preventing some dreaded event or situation; however, these behaviors or mental acts either are not connected in a realistic way with what they are designed to neutralize or are clearly excessive Paranoid delusions not otherwise specified (Choice A) cannot be correct because the patient is not delusional. The definition of a delusion is a fixed false belief from which one cannot be shaken. The patient in our example has insight into her obsessive compulsive behaviors, whereas a delusional person (ex: a young man who believes that he is the leader of a space colony located on Planet Neptar) does not. Postpartum depression (Choice B) is incorrect because the patient is demonstrating anxiety issues, not depressive. Symptoms of depression include low mood, sadness, sleep disturbances, difficulty concentrating, sense of inertia, anhedonia, tearfulness, crying spells and possible suicidality. Generalized anxiety disorder (Choice D) is not correct because, while the patient IS demonstrating anxiety, obsessive thinking and compulsive behaviors are not amongst the symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder. Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by a pattern of frequent, constant worry and anxiety over many different activities and events, difficulty concentrating, difficulty controlling worry, disproportionate anxiety and worry, nonspecific physical symptoms that include sweating, palpitations, dyspnea, abdominal discomfort, fatigue, irritability, muscle tension, a sense of inner restlessness and sleep disturbance. Paranoid personality disorder (Choice E) is incorrect because this condition is a chronic psychiatric illness similar to paranoid schizophrenia that usually results in the person becoming low functioning and socially isolated. These people are generally suspicious and distrustful. Additionally, they tend to believe that the people around them have hidden motives and that they are going to use and exploit the person suffering from the condition. Such flawed thinking can lead to poor self image, detachment, hostility and even violence.

The correct answer is Choice C
In obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) sufferers experience distressing intrusive obsessive thoughts that may or may not be followed by the person’s feeling the need to perform repetitive acts in order to reduce their anxiety about the obsession: these actions are called compulsions. The diagnosis of OCD is made by cataloguing the patient’s symptoms and then comparing them to the diagnostic criteria listed below:
The patient must display either obsessions or compulsions with obsessions defined by (a), (b), (c), and (d) and compulsions defined by (e) and (f):
(a) recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images that are experienced, at some time during the disturbance, as intrusive and inappropriate and that cause marked anxiety or distress
(b) the thoughts, impulses, or images are not simply excessive worries about real-life problems
(c) the person attempts to ignore or suppress such thoughts, impulses, or images, or to neutralize them with some other thought or action
(d) the person recognizes that the obsessional thoughts, impulses, or images are a product of his or her own mind (not imposed from without as in thought insertion)
(e) repetitive behaviors (e.g., hand washing, ordering, checking) or mental acts (e.g., praying, counting, repeating words silently) that the person feels driven to perform in response to an obsession, or according to rules that must be applied rigidly
(f) the behaviors or mental acts are aimed at preventing or reducing distress or preventing some dreaded event or situation; however, these behaviors or mental acts either are not connected in a realistic way with what they are designed to neutralize or are clearly excessive
