Dealing with OCD in the Office

Overview

A person at work re-reading a report over and over and over takes time and may never be completed because it cannot be done perfectly. A person late for work too many times because of fear that they did not lock the door and need to check may be fired.

When cleanliness at home takes so much of your attention that your family become upset stress builds at home. Managing a person's OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) can be a full-time endeavor and take over a person's life.

OCD is really fueled by anxiety and stress. Anxiety is about fight or flight, which is a natural, cautionary process of the mind to protect us from a threat. It is when anxiety raises to excessive heights and takes over that it becomes a problem. The toughest part of fight or flight is that we are stressing over something that is not a real threat, yet we go through the same process as if it were a tiger attack.

Why should you Attend

OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) is one of the most mysterious and confusing disorders. It is assumed by many to be an organizational or cleanliness issue, which is a total misrepresentation of what OCD is. Someone truly suffering from OCD can

have their life and work disrupted and taken over by OCD. Knowing how to deal with OCD can give someone their life back and make a business thrive.
