Γεια σε όλους, αν και δεν είμαι τόσο υπέρ της κατηγοριοποίησης, ταμπελοποίησης των πραγμάτων στις ψυχολογικές ασθένειες, η συγκεκριμένη λίστα εδώ, των συμπτωμάτων της ΙΔΨ, δείχνει πραγματικά πόσο "πλούσια", γεμάτη και πολύπλοκη είναι η πάθηση αυτή. Φυσικά παίζει ρόλο ακόμα η ένταση και διάρκεια των εμμονών, ιδεών, ψυχαναγκασμών. Και αν υπάρχει κάτι θετικό στο να διαβάζουμε μια λίστα σαν και αυτή, υποθέτω είναι να αναγνωρίσουμε, εντοπίσουμε που είναι το πρόβλημα, να το αποδεχτούμε, ώστε να δουλέψουμε πάνω σε αυτό. Και για τους άλλους που δεν πάσχουν, να μπορούν να καταλάβουν καλύτερα ότι ο δικός τους άνθρωπος μπορεί να ταλαιπωρείται από κάποια από όλα αυτά και να δείχνουν μεγαλύτερη κατανόηση, συμπαράσταση, γιατί πραγματικά είναι μια πολύ βασανιστική αγχώδης διαταραχή.
Πάντως το παραθέτω και για το λόγο ότι αρκετοί πιστεύουν ακόμη ότι ΙΔΨ είναι να πλένεις επαναλαμβανόμενα τα χέρια σου ή να τσεκάρεις 100 φορές το θερμοσίφωνα ή την κουζίνα. Όχι, είναι πολλά, πολλά, πολλά, πολλά άλλα ακόμη!
