VIC136H1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder
Document Summary
You need to get something else into your head to get the sticky song out of your head. You can replace a sticky song with another sticky song or another obsessive item. Sticky songs and involuntary and intrusive thoughts are an aspect of obsessive-compulsive behaviour and ocd. Therefore you have some control over intrusive thoughts. Short term symptomatic therapies you don"t go deeply into the cause of someone but you treat the symptom rst which doesn"t always work but it is quick solution. Deep and long term therapies (ie. psychoanalysis) psychoanalysists recover repressed memories, maybe something happened to you that made you prone to obsessive compulsive disorder. Studying music can be a guide to udnerstanding psychology. If you play a sad song, you actually don"t feel sad afterwards, you feel happy. Psychosis when you imagine things that are not real, drugs can bring on psychosis but songs can also give you messages that intrude your mind.
