Suggest Treatment For Symptoms Of OCD

default
Posted on Wed, 24 Sep 2014
Question: i have been suffering from those symptoms for many years but it became apparent during my engineering career where i had problems learning,memorizing and interacting with others.i
I had to leave my previous job because I never cheat in exam as i consider it a sin .
my ocd symptoms include doing everything in a sequence n proper way even if something urgent thing is to be done. For example every morning i woke up n do everything in sequence like first brushing and so on. If i dont do so, i feel guilty.
also after having meals n going to work, i check whether everything is right n slow.k if i did something stupid or left something like washing hands properly after lunch.
Regarding social trait, i dont talk with girls for long because i cant follow up in a conversation because i am unable to take the words of speaker quickly , which makes me feel awkward.
And while talking with friends, i tend to think of the work left and i think as if i am wasting time talking, which makes me to withdraw.
my academic performance is average but learning is slow, but i am a hard worker.
I had a accident in my childhood on the back of head from a scooter after which i had to take stitches on skull.
That much i know as i was 3 years old.
after that there was no scanning of brain as my parents were fearful.
That is what i know.
Please help me, i am suffering from lot of problems and you know how competitive is the corporate world.

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
what you told is like Obsessive compulsive features but without detail history and mental status examination difficult to diagnose between OC disorder and OC personality.

Though you feel guilty but whether you have any anxiety features or any physical or mental problem if not doing work in sequence?

about your social withdrawn is may be due to not able to understand what people speak or due to not able to converse properly.

Also you might have learning problem which affects your speed.
As you said such complain since many years but your parents didn't notice it?
and head injury in childhood may be related but what is the extent of head injury?

There are many medication for OCD and also for learning problem like Fluoxetine, fluoxamine, clomipramine etc also behavior therapy works.


Awaiting your response .
