OCD & Anxiety. Ment. please help me.

Obsessions are unwanted thoughts, images, or urges that may be extreme or disturbing. The obsessions are accompanied by uncomfortable feelings, such as fear, disgust, doubt, or a feeling that things have to be “just right.” These obsessions occur over and over again and feel outside of the person’s control. Common obsessions can include: • Contamination • Doubts • Perfectionism • Unwanted sexual or violent thoughts • Religion / god related thoughts Compulsions are excessive, repetitive behaviors or “mental acts” Common compulsions can include: • Frequent, excessive washing and/or cleaning. • Frequent, excessive checking (e.g. that the door is locked, that the oven is off, etc.). • Repeating. • Mental compulsions (e.g. counting, praying, and reviewing). • Frequent, excessive reassurance seeking (e.g. asking “I’m going to be OK?”). Through Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, medication, and a combination of both, symptoms for OCD can be reduced. Consult psychiatrist.
