How can medical therapy with ketamine IV infusion and transcranial magnetic stimulation help my compulsive decluttering disorder?
Obsessive compulsive disorder is a debilitating condition that can be expressed in a variety of ways. A person with OCD may have a hoarding disorder, characterized by compulsive hoarding, or, alternatively, they may engage in obsessive decluttering.
Hoarders tend to collect possessions, having difficulty letting anything go. Hoarding tendencies lead to large amounts of belongings, and even garbage, stored in the home.
A person with a declutter issue will do the opposite, obsessing on what they can get rid of. Someone with this compulsive behavior may live in a home devoid of most possessions, hence the alternative name, obsessive compulsive spartanism.
Why would someone want treatment for obsessive compulsive decluttering?
You might think that a family member who is a compulsive declutterer would be pleasant to have around. Would they share decluttering tips, while cleaning up the home with the goal of expressing minimalism?
In reality, compulsive decluttering is a difficult mental disorder to tolerate, due to unpleasant obsessive thoughts and persistent compulsions. When someone with this obsession has an intrusive thought, they suffer from significant distress.
While a person with compulsive buying tendencies and a hoarding problem might seem as if they have a much worse problem, the two OCD-related issues are similar. Whether the person has a cluttering problem, or hoarding behavior, intervention is often necessary.
How can ketamine-assisted therapy combined with deep TMS help?
Psychotherapy can be very effective for a variety of mental health problems, especially when combined with medical treatments, such as ketamine infusion and transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy. For example, cognitive behavioral therapy is an excellent way to help clients identify internal triggers, external triggers, and emotional triggers that exacerbate their problem.
Ketamine infusion is a treatment provided in specialized ketamine clinics, where the dissociative anesthetic drug is administered by the intravenous route. While the patient relaxes, experiencing a gentle floating sensation, the medication does its work, stimulating physical growth and healing in the brain, with improved connections, and reduced anxiety and OCD symptoms.
Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation is a specialized form of repetitive TMS, or rTMS, that reaches deeper structures of the brain with an electromagnetic field. Magnetic induction makes this safe and effective therapy possible.
Are intrusive thoughts normal when they help me to clean my house?
There are mental health disorders that can cause a person to appear successful on the outside. For example, a work addiction may lead to a person having increased wealth and financial success.
However, a person with work addiction also misses out on family connections and enjoyment of life outside of work. Similarly, a person with compulsive decluttering disorder, or obsessive compulsive spartanism, may have a beautifully clean home, but they suffer on the inside with intrusive thoughts that bring up disturbing images.
If you suffer with obsessive decluttering, you may want to consider ketamine treatment in Maryland and TMS-assisted therapy. These medical treatments, combined with effective psychotherapy, can help you to feel better, with fewer obsessive thoughts and less intrusive thinking.
Improving your OCD does not mean that the clutter in your home will begin to accumulate. You can still keep your home clean while feeling better and functioning better, with less of the axiety-inducing symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder.
