Features of coping strategies in people with OCD

this article is devoted to a comprehensive study of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a common and debilitating mental disorder characterized by obsessive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive actions (compulsions). The authors consider the features of coping strategies in people with OCD, study the topic of coping differences among respondents with obsessions and compulsions, and also consider key aspects of OCD, including its definition, symptoms, prevalence, and impact on patients' quality of life. The authors note the importance of studying the coping strategies that people with OCD use to deal with stress and emotional difficulties. Special attention is paid to the etiology of OCD, analyzing various biological, psychological and social factors that may contribute to the development of the disorder. Modern neurobiological models, genetic predispositions and the role of environmental factors are considered. The article also describes in detail the methods of OCD diagnosis, including clinical interviews, the use of standardized scales, and differential diagnosis with other psychiatric disorders. An important section is an overview of modern approaches to OCD treatment. Both pharmacological methods based on the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and psychotherapeutic methods, in particular, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with exposure and ritual prevention, are considered. The effectiveness of various treatment methods is evaluated and strategies for increasing patient adherence to therapy are discussed. A study conducted among people with OCD made it possible to assess the relationship between the types of OCD and the preferred coping strategies familiar to the respondents. In conclusion, the article highlights the importance of early diagnosis and an integrated approach to OCD treatment to improve the prognosis and improve the quality of life of patients. The prospects for further research in the field of OCD aimed at developing more effective and personalized treatment methods are also being considered. Thus, this experiment allows us to conclude that understanding these strategies can contribute to the development of more effective treatment methods and improve the quality of psychological care.
