Day 52 : OCD and lustful thoughts of Ganesh

Tuesday 22/11/22 Adarsha Hospital, Kundapura

The day started at 11 am due to temporary shift changes. I finished Dr.Adarsh sir OPD and went to casuality with sir for dressing. At that time, he called Dr.Krathika to say something. He said write the full form of OCD (Obsessive compulsive disorder) otherwise the insurance people may not sanction the amount.
I wondered what it might be at first as I was unaware of the term OCD. Then I found out that the patient diagnosed with OCD was Mr.Ganesh. I had seen him two days before when he came for admission to our hospital.
He had unusual complaints like he had lust for girls etc. But my duty was about to finish that day and the next day I was on leave, So I missed to see him.

Then I looked at his Case sheet,Mr. Ganesh, a 24 year old boy had c/o bad dreams with unwanted thoughts in day and night. He would feel lust to any girl he sees and he is also ashamed of his thoughts. He consulted Psychiatrist Dr.Nithin and he had advised admission to our hospital. 

He was given sedatives and anti depressants.

His treatment chart was as following 
1. Tab Fluvox 50mg 0-0-1
2. Tab Lopez 1mg 1/2-1/2-2
3. Tab Clonil 75mg 1-0-1
4. Tab Sizodon 0.5mg 0-0-1
5. Inj B-29 AQ PFS OD 

Then ECT (Electroconvulsive therapy) was done. 

Some details about OCD (Obsessive Compulsive disorder)
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder in which people have unwanted and repeated thoughts, feelings, ideas, sensations (obsessions), and behaviors that drive them to do something over and over (compulsions).

Often the person carries out the behaviors to get rid of the obsessive thoughts. But this only provides short-term relief. Not doing the obsessive rituals can cause great anxiety and distress.
