I understand your concern. The symptom you have mentioned could be a part of ocd as well. More clarity is needed regarding your problem. However it is easily manageable with appropriate treatment. Some therapy sessions along with medical help might be useful for you. Depending on the severity it might take around 2-3 months for improvement and 6-9 months for near complete recovery. I would also be more than happy to help you with that if you are looking for further online assistance. Discussions will be held confidential. You can directly consult with me through Practo as needed. Online chat consultation is available.
