Aklınızdan bir türlü çıkmayan, kurtulmaya çalıştıkça geri gelen rahatsız edici, hastalıklı, hatta tehlikeli bir düşünceyle uğraşıyor musunuz? Ya da mikroplardan kurtulmak için ellerinizi sürekli yıkıyor veya bazı şeyleri gereksiz bir şekilde biriktiriyor musunuz? Evden çıkarken bütün ışıkların sönmüş olduğunu defalarca kontrol ediyor ya da her şeyin simetrik bir düzen içinde olmasını sağlamak için uğraşıp duruyor musunuz? Buna benzer davranışlar Obsesif Kompulsif Bozukluk (OKB) denilen bir hastalığın belirtileri olabilir. Dünya nüfusunun yüzde 2'sinin mustarip olduğu bu hastalık dünyada en fazla gelir kaybına ve yaşam kalitesinin düşmesine yol açan ilk on hastalıktan biridir. Depresyon, alkol ve madde bağımlılığı ve sosyal fobiden sonra en yaygın dördüncü zihinsel bozukluk olan OKB'yi her yönüyle ele alan uzman psikiyatristler David Veale ve Rob Willson en etkili tedavi olan Bilişsel Davranış Teknikleri ile nasıl üstesinden gelineceğini herkesin anlayabileceği tarzda anlatıyorlar.

Many people occasionally suffer from a negative body self - image but, for an increasing number of people, this can turn into a more serious preoccupation. One per cent of the population will develop Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), a condition characterised by severe preoccupation with a perceived physical defect. Body image problems can cause significant distress and can lead to further problems such as anxiety, eating disorders and social phobia. It has long been recognised that negative body image problems are a factor in the onset and maintenance of many eating disorders. However, they can be successfully treated with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Praise for "Overcoming Obsessive Compulsive Disorder" and the "Overcoming" series: '["Overcoming Obsessive Compulsive Disorder"] is an affordable and highly recommended read.' "The Psychologist" 'The best consumer - friendly CBT - based books...All are very thorough.' "Observer"

Bu ruh halinin gelip geçmesi sorun değildir ama süreklilik kazanması, kronik bir hal alması çok başka bir şeydir. “Hastalık hastası” olanlar gerçekte bir sağlık sorunu olmamasına ve bu konuda doktorlar tarafından güvence verilmesine rağmen ciddi bir hastalığı olduğuna veya olacağına inanan, bunu bir saplantı haline getirenlerdir. Hastane veya muayenehanelerde ömür tüketen, olmadı internette araştıran, sürekli güvence arayan “sağlık anksiyetesi” sahibi bu kişiler hem kendilerine hem de çevrelerine hayatı zehir ederler. Bu anksiyete strese, stres panik ve depresyona ve giderek pek çok gerçek sağlık sorununa yol açar. Oysa “hastalık hastası” olmak da bir sağlık sorunudur ve çözümü vardır; öncelikle doğru bir teşhisin ardından tedavisi mümkün olan bir psikolojik rahatsızlıktır. İkisi de bilişsel davranış terapisi uzmanı ve psikiyatrist olan Rob Wilson ve David Veale sorunu tanımlayıp, kaynaklarını açıkladıktan sonra Bilişsel Davranış Teknikleri’nin uygulandığı pratikler ve egzersizler yardımıyla nasıl üstesinden gelineceğini de anlatıyor.

Artık Türkiye’de de olacak...

HASTALIK HASTASI OLMAK

OCD affects between 1 and 2 per cent of the UK population, causing terrible distress to hundreds of thousands. A serious mental illness, it affects people in different ways from well-known rituals such as obsessive hand-washing and checking, to lesser known symptoms such as disturbing intrusive thoughts and hoarding. Those affected typically suffer for a number of years before seeking help and receiving professional treatment. Selected by Dr David Veale and Rob Willson, authors of self-help guide Overcoming Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, the first person accounts contained in this collection reflect a broad range of experiences of those with OCD. Brave and uplifting, these real life stories provide not only reassurance, but also an inspiration to others to seek help and overcome their illness. Includes two chapters written by Dr David Veale and Rob Willson explaining the causes of OCD and how to overcome it.
