whenever i want to make a decision i worry about all the things that i could not feel good about and then need to make sure that ill feel good , my doctor told me its ocd but i read up alot about ocd and it doesnt seem to match what i do. For example the way ocd is explained is that intrusive unwanted thoughts, i dont feel my worrys are unwanted, i think they are pretty normal. Also they say that people with ocd realize that their compulsions are irrational but i dont feel that way about myself. please someone help me clarify my issue.
Hello thanks for asking from Chat Doctor Obsessions are any idea, image or thinking that are repetitive, dominating and distressing. Your have thinking that something is not well in your body, you consulted a psychiatrist for that, so it means that these thoughts were bothering you. So we can classify them as obsessions, but detailed clinical and mental status examination is needed to confirm diagnosis. Such type of symptoms could occur due to Hyperion Chat Doctor. Consult a psychiatrist for treatment. SSRIs in high doses are treatment of choice like Fluoxetine, Paroxetine etc. Behavior therapy like thought stopping is also equally efficacious. Thanks, hope this helps you
