Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello
Welcome to HCM

From the symptoms you have mentioned I can tell you that the symptoms are definitely due to anxiety disorder and most likely part of OCD. You have thoughts about death of family member, about being successful, thoughts and anxiety about marriage etc. These symptoms may be due to part of Generalized anxiety disorder or OCD. In OCD irrational, intrusive thought or idea dominates in mind and produce distress even affected individual recognize that they are purposeless. I would advise you to please visit a Psychiatrist for expert opinion. Medicines like SSRI are very useful in such type of symptoms. Apart from medicines Behavior therapy has also proven results in such symptoms.

Thanks, Dr.Seikhoo Bishnoi, MD
