Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Some of you may be on the hyperacusis board. There has been quite a discussion on there by individuals who do not have 4 S or perhaps who have never even spoken with a person who has the symptoms of 4 S. However, it is strongly suggested by several of these individuals that you all really have a form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. OCD. I wonder, how many would agree or disagree? I am going to add a NEW POLL to the POLLS to find out. Your answer will be anonymous. Thanks for responding! Marsha Come on, let's get at least 100 or 200 responses, now.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I am with you, Elaine - I have never been " diagnosed " with OCD either, and though I definitely have SOME symptoms, I am not sure that I would have that diagnosis if I went to talk to a doctor about it. The things I tend to obsess over don't affect my life in any meaningful way and are more like little quirks. They don't cause me or anyone else any problems so I just accept them as part of me. I also have some symptoms of ADD, but every time I take an online quiz regarding that disorder, it comes back as me being normal. HA! Me, normal? The 4S is a MUCH bigger problem for me, since it causes me anxiety on such a regular, predictable basis. I have mentioned it to doctors in passing but it's never been addressed seriously. Luckily my living and work situation are such that I don't encounter my triggers very often. --- elainenamanworth wrote: > Hi Marsha, > > I want to participate in this poll but I'm not > certain how to respond > because the question asks if we have been > " diagnosed " with OCD.

OCD. > > I wonder, how many would agree or disagree? > Before I found this website I had never heard of 4s or hyperacusis. I developed 4s at around 8 and always referred to it as my " eating sounds problem " . I sought professional help 3 times in my life but never followed through after initial meetings and testing. I tried to self analyze myself and self diagnose myself. My eventual conclusion was that I must have mild OCD and a problem with anger displacement. I can certainly see where someone who did not have this problem could easily attribute it to OCD seeing as how even I thought that was a possibility. After discovering this web site and 4s, my mind began reeling and I developed a totally different perspective on this problem. I no longer think my problem is OCD related. My first major question is if it is OCD then why don't I have OCD in any other aspect of my life ? My second major question is if it is OCD then why aren't OCD drugs working for people in this group ? Per my reading of the postings, some people have cited drugs as helping a little bit but no one has raved about a wonder drug that makes the problem significantly better. I am still not ruling out mild OCD as a component of 4s but I would not classify 4s as an OCD condition. The diagnosis of 4s as a physiological problem just makes so much more sense for my situation.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I wonder if this is a condition that has several different components to it?? A physical condition with the actual hearing process may be part of the culprit but I know from personal experience that I am hyper-vigilant and slightly obsessive about it. As I wrote about before I have been diagnosed with OCD and have often thought of my 4s condition as closely associated with it. I am interested to learn more especially if identifying causation could provide better methods to deal with 4s. -russ v_m_fen wrote: > However, it is strongly suggested by several of these individuals that > you all really have a form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I don't really think it has to do with OCD. I don't really have any OCD. I really believe it is a physiological. As for the anxiety and reaction that appears phobic, I think this is more of a natural reaction. The sound causes such annoyment and anger in the brain that it trigger the natural fight or flight instict that all animals have. It is more of a cause and effect relationship, than a dual co-morbidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
