Advice on protecting your mental health during the coronavirus outbreak.
feels like watching our brains being flipped inside out. It's weird seeing people act in ways we associate with being ill.For Lily Bailey, author of Because We Are Bad, a book about living with OCD, fear of contamination was one aspect of her obsessive compulsive disorder. She says the advice about hand washing can be a huge trigger for people who have recovered.
Charity OCD Action says the issue to look out for is the function - for example, is the washing being carried out for the recommended amount of time to reduce the risk of spreading of the virus - or is it being done ritualistically in a specific order to feel"just right"?Bailey points out that for a lot of people with OCD, getting better means being able to leave the house - so self-isolating can present another challenge.
