Causes of OCD

1. Mental Health Nurse- starting salary on average is $35,000 an can increase to $66,000 and needs a 4 year degree.

2. Psychiatrist- average salary is $170,000 and needs to complete 6 to 8 years of schooling.

3. Psychologist- average salary is $80,000 a year and needs to have a 4 year degree.

When making a prognosis of OCD it is best to look at these 3 things: if the symptoms are mild or extreme, if the symptoms go away for any period of time and how well the person with the symptoms function. This disorder is long term which can come with some side effects later for example skin breakdown with handwashing too frequently.

-The 1st medicine a doctor will prescribe would be a type of antidepressant. Such as Citalopram, Fluoxetine, Paroxetine or Sertraline.

-In case of the antidepressant not working doctors can prescribe an antidepressant that has been around longer (Clomipramine) and is used to treat the symptoms of OCD. It also has side effects though such as difficulty starting urination, drop in blood pressure while coming up from a sitted position, dry mouth and sleepiness. In other cases doctors can prescribe antidepressants and Clomipramine together.

The first thing you should do would be to go to a psychiatric to determine your mental state and so they can give you a questionnaire to answer about how you feel during your everyday life. It is also a good idea to have a physical exam to rule out any physical symptoms.

OCD can develop between the ages 3-40 and it does not depend on your ethnic race because it can happen to anyone. Researchers have found that males can develop it slightly sooner in life than females.

Leonardo DiCaprio has suffered from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder "OCD" since he was a young child and still suffers from this disorder, he promised himself he would not let it take over his life though.
