Description

To enhance the quality of life of people with OCD, appropriate treatment is vital. Courses like this one provide physicians with an innovative vision on the topic”

##IMAGE##

Obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD), which are characterized by a series of recurrent and manic thoughts about a specific topic, will be discussed in depth during this course. Therefore, for example, a person with OCD may have a real panic about touching something that other people have touched (fear of germs) and/or manias that they tend to repeat compulsively.

For all these reasons, this type of disorder arouses great psychopathological interest and is considered to be difficult to frame within nosology. Likewise, it is a very prevalent problem since it produces a lot of interference in the daily life of the people who suffer from it. 

This disorder usually develops at an early age, although it can also occur in adulthood, with a gradual or sudden onset. Once diagnosed, it usually becomes a chronic pathology. In addition, most people with this disease (more than 60%) have more than one type of obsession.

The most relevant characteristics of this disorder and the most effective methods of approaching it will be dealt with in this course, which will provide the student with in-depth knowledge on the subject. All of this, in just six weeks. A 100% online postgraduate certificate that provides the physician with the ease of being able to take it comfortably, wherever and whenever they want. They will only need a device with an internet connection to access the biggest database of content on the educational market.

Postgraduate Certificate in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders and Other Related Disorders

The treatment of this type of disorders demands a deep knowledge not only about its etiopathogenesis, but also about the ambiguous clinical manifestations expressed by patients. For this reason, at TECH Technological University we have created the Postgraduate Certificate in Obsessive-Compulsive and Other Related Disorders, a specialized program in this subject, whose curriculum covers epidemiology, risk factors, diagnostic evaluation, differential diagnosis and therapeutic approaches to alleviate the complications caused by obsessive-compulsive disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, olfactory reference disorder, hoarding disorder, body-centered repetitive behavior disorder and, finally, behaviors related to hypochondriasis. During the time it takes to complete the Postgraduate Certificate, the students will develop their skills to such an extent that they will master the evolutionary analysis and the classificatory framework, making an adequate use of the physiopathological data. In addition, they will improve their interviewing, examination and assessment skills, thanks to the deepening of the contents focused on psychiatric advances in diagnosis.

Postgraduate in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders and Other Related Disorders

With this postgraduate course offered by TECH, the professional interested in this area of study will be able to enrich his or her daily practice, since he or she will integrate the indispensable strategies to carry out an effective clinical management of these mental disorders. Specifically, he/she will incorporate what has been learned about nosology and rehabilitation methods of medical conditions, updated information on symptomatological-therapeutic development and key communication skills for the management of difficult situations. Taking into account that these pathologies impose a great resistance to psychiatric approach and that their chronic presence complicates the prescription of procedures, the theoretical-practical course, proposed by our teaching team, aims at overcoming these disadvantages by contributing to the integral training of our students, providing them with tools for scientific research and, consequently, for the design and execution of prevention campaigns. In this way, it is expected that the graduate will be empowered to mitigate the degree of incidence and the level of interference caused by these conditions in the daily life of patients. Likewise, in a more advanced register, he/she will promote research processes in order to generate and renew knowledge in this field.
