Abstract

This chapter describes three types of cognitive diseases: depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and schizophrenia. Depression is a frequent kind of mental illness. More than 264 million individuals of all ages suffer from depression across the world. Women are more likely than males to suffer from depression. Suicide can be caused by depression. For mild and severe depression, there are effective psychological and pharmaceutical therapies. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or obsessive-compulsive ailment is an anxiety disorder. It is divided into two parts: obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are recurring thoughts, ideas, visions, or impulses that are unpleasant and distressing. Compulsions are behaviors, routines, or mental acts that you engage in to relieve the distress brought on by your obsessions. Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness in which patients have distorted perceptions of reality. Schizophrenia can include hallucinations, delusions, and severely disorganized thought and behavior, which can make it difficult to operate on a daily basis.
