一个没有强迫症的人的脑和一个有强迫症的人的脑的区别,举了两个人作例子
Ben wakes up at 3 a.m.and thinks,“I think I left the stove on; maybe
I need to go check.I’d hate to burn the house down.” His orbital fron-
tal cortex sends a mild signal of alarm throughout the worry circuit.
However,Ben’s worry circuit doesn’t go into high gear.Various parts
of his brain process the information and he concludes,“Well,it’s pretty
darn unlikely that I left the stove on.I never have before.I’m pretty
comfortable right now; it doesn’t seem worth getting up.Besides,I have
smoke detectors.” Ben turns over and goes back to sleep.
Brad wakes up at 3 a.m.and has the same thought as Ben,“Gosh,I think
I might have left the stove on; maybe I need to go check.I’d hate to burn
the house down.” Brad has OCD and his orbital frontal lobe screams a
message to the rest of his worry circuit.Brad’s heart races and his entire
body fills with dread.He jumps out of bed to check the stove.He feels
relief when he sees that it’s turned off.He returns to bed.Then he thinks,
“Maybe I didn’t really check the stove carefully enough.Did I check all
the burners?” The worry circuit reactivates and sends Brad scrambling to
check the stove again.The entire process is repeated many times before
Ben can settle down and go back to sleep.
