PSY-OCD medication inducedObsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder in which there are unreasonable thoughts and fears (obsessions) that cause anxiety and lead to repetitive behaviors (compulsions) that are preformed in an attempt to reduce anxiety. There are several medications that have apparently produced or made worse OCD. Obsessions are repeated, persistent and unwanted ideas, thoughts, images or impulses that are involuntarily and seem to make no sense. These obsessions typically intrude when one is trying to think of or do other things. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors that one feels driven to perform to prevent or reduce anxiety or distress related to obsessions. you believe you have developed OCD due to use of a medication, then you should see the physician who prescribed the medication or see a Family Practice, Internal Medicine, Neurology, or Psychiatry specialist. |
