What are compulsive thoughts?
Normative thoughts are thoughts or pictures that persist in the mind of people, regardless of efforts spent to remove these thoughts. Some of these thoughts are usually of several problems that the individual experiences; Some are anxiety about problems that do not apply to persons. Compulsive thoughts can be considered the cause or result of some emotional or psychological disorders, such as paranoia or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). One of the common topics between these ideas is that these are often negative thoughts or result in negative consequences. Many of these thoughts are concerned, such as fear of bacteria, attack or injury. On some occasions, the compulsive idea is caused by memory, such as a conversation that one begins to analyze and worry about continuously.
Some compulsive thoughts may not necessarily be bad like Kat's thoughtsEgorized under superstitious beliefs and objects or sexual images and ideas. Some people, perhaps those who have an OCD can't sleep at night when they weigh thoughts of mess or disorganization on their minds. The physiological effects of mulling over one's thoughts may include increased heart rate, high blood pressure and sweating. As a result, one can experience panic attacks and heavy nightmares. In many cases, one often performs an action to alleviate thoughts such as the arrangement of objects on the shelf or washing hands just to find another obsessed idea replacing the previous idea.
The causes of compulsive thoughts are not clear, but neurologists often quote the lack of some hormones and neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin, often known as "happy hormone". Some psychologists point to compulsive thinking - and in relation to the OCD - as a problem with the behavioral problem that the person has Conditaionia. In any case, compulsive thinking can often lead to depression, because one becomes too nervous over his thoughts. Some people become socially downloaded, especially if their compulsive thoughts are related to people and social situations. Sometimes one can even "punish" for thinking about such thoughts, resulting in cutting, fasting and pricking his face.
A person who suffers from compulsive thoughts should consult a psychiatrist because it may be a symptom of a disorder. Some psychiatrists could recommend patients to take medication to regulate hormones and neurotransmitters; Others provide behavioral therapy as primary treatment. Other alternative therapies for avoiding and removing compulsive thoughts would be forms of meditation or hypnosis.
