Abstract

Coronavirüs hastalığı-2019 (Covid-19) pandemisi Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından bir pandemi olarak ilan edilmesinin ardından temizlik, maske ve sosyal mesafe kuralları da hem hastalık önleme ve koruma merkezleri hem de medya tarafından sürekli hatırlatılan uyarılar haline gelmiştir. Maske, temizlik ve sosyal mesafe hayatlarımızın yeni normalleri haline gelmiştir. Obsesif kompulsif bozukluğunun yaygın belirtiler arasında bulunan temizlik/temizleme kompulsiyonları ve mikrop bulaşma obsesyonları ve Covid-19’dan korunma davranışları ile alevlenmiş ve bu önlemler obsessif kompulsif bozukluğun semptomlarının nerede başladığını ve hangi davranışların obsesif kompulsif bozukluk olarak değerlendirilebileceği konusunda da kafa karışıklıklarına neden olmuştur. Bu gibi önlemler özellikle obsesif kompulsif bozukluğu olan olguların semptomlarının şiddetlenmesinin yanı sıra diğer hastalık bulaşma obsesyonlarını da Covid-19 bulaşma obsesyonu haline getirmiştir. Yapılan birçok çalışma depresyon, anksiyete bozuklukları belirtilerinin artmış olduğunu gösterirken obsesif kompulsif bozukluğu semptomlarının alevlendiğini, klinisyenler tarafından yeni obsesif kompulsif bozukluk tanı konulma sıklığının arttığını tespit edilmiştir. Covid-19 pandemisi çocuk-ergen, obsesif kompulsif bozukluk tanısı almış ve tedavisi devam eden olguların yanı sıra obsesif kompulsif bozukluk geliştirme riski olan birçok bireyi de olumsuz yönde etkilemiştir. Yapılan bu çalışma sonucunda medya, hastalık önleme merkezleri tarafından yapılan açıklamamalar konusunda dikkatli olunması ve klinisyenlerin de obsesif kompulsif bozukluk ile baş etmek durumunda olan olguların tanı ve psikoterapi süreçlerinde daha dikkatli olunması gerekliliğini ön plana çıkarmıştır.

Abstract

After the Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) was declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, cleanliness, mask and social distance rules have also become warnings constantly reminded by both the centers for disease prevention and protection and the media. Common symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder include cleaning/washing compulsions and germ transmission obsessions became confusing with the COVID-19 prevention behaviors. Such measures have made COVID-19 transmission obsessions especially exacerbated by the symptoms of patients with obsessive compulsive disorder, as well as other disease transmission obsessions. While many studies have insisted symptoms of depression, anxiety disorders, Obsessive compulsive disorder symptoms have flared up and the frequency of new obsessive compulsive disorder diagnosis by clinicians has increased. COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected many children-adolescents, patients diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder and ongoing treatment, as well as many people at risk of developing obsessive compulsive disorder. As a result of this study, the media highlighted the need to be careful about the explanations made by the centers for disease prevention and to be more careful in the diagnosis and psychotherapy processes of clinicians who have to deal with obsessive compulsive disorder.
