Whether you are young or old, had OCD for a few weeks or several years, it makes no difference; using this simple but effective technique you can quickly eliminate the disorder without any side effects.
I would like to mention that, the last thing a sufferer of this anxiety disorder should do is forcefully try to stop the OCD as that would only fuel the anxiety, yet most sufferers do exactly that. Knowledge and understanding of OCD is a good starting point in the treatment of this often misunderstood disorder. Parents need to realise that their child has very little control over the OCD. If you focus too much on the OCD, they may get worse. In most cases, it's not helpful to encourage your child to try to stop the compulsions. Your child can hold back the OCD for a short while, but eventually they will come out. If I were to tell you to use your will power to not think of a red apple, you would find that quite difficult! It's the same with this type of anxiety disorder.
You are NOT mentally ill !!
You are NOT physically ill !!
After researching for around ten years, I realised that although the problems I had were severe, they could be cured naturally and easily. It's about dealing with the root cause of the problems. When the root cause is dealt with, the associated problems simply fade away. I am now free from these anxieties and find it hard to believe that I unnecessarily lived with these anxieties for such a long time.
You need to realise that OCD is not a mental problem; it is simply a behavioural problem that can be easily cured. When the root cause is dealt with, the urge to carry out OCD rituals simply fade away.
Medicine may seem to minimise the OCD rituals for a while by suppressing the mind but does not remove the root cause of the problem. Not to mention the side effects caused by these medicines!
If you have a child that has this disorder, then for you this book is a must read. I was just a six year old child when my problem started. If you knew what I know now then your child wouldn't have to deal with this embarrassing problem during the most precious years of his/her life. If you are the one that has this disorder and had it for a while then I am sure you are aware of the effect it is having on your working life and personal life. Regardless of the sufferer's age this disorder can be easily stopped.
In an easy to understand way "The Root Cause" gives a detailed explanation of how we get OCD. Most importantly, it explains from an ex-sufferers point view, how to use a unique and effective technique to eliminate the vicious cycle of OCD.
