Obsessive-compulsive disorder

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a type of anxiety disorder

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is most commonly characterized by intrusive, repetitive thoughts resulting in compulsive behaviors and mental acts that the person feels driven to perform, according to rules that must be applied rigidly, aimed at preventing some imagined dreaded event; however, these behaviors or mental acts are not connected to the imagined dreaded event.

Self Esteem


Self Esteem is important element to your psychological well-being


Your level of self-esteem affects virtually everything you say, think and do. It affects how we see the world and you our place in it. It affects how others in the world see and treat us. It affects the choices you make - choices about what you will do with your life and with whom you will be involved. It affects your ability to both give and receive love. And it affects your ability to take action to change things that need to be changed.

If you have less than a sufficient amount of self-esteem, you may not be able to act in your own best interest. And if a person has no self-esteem at all, he will become overwhelmed, immobile and eventually will give up.

Components that directly relate to your self esteem
Anger
Self Confidence
Goal Setting
Changes in attitudes
Fear of success
Anxiety
Co-dependency
Depression

Self Talk
Abuse
