What Is The Treatment For OCD, Anxiety Disorder And Depression?

I suffers with OCD, anxiety disorder and depression. I have recently started to have hallucination and delusions ranging from, thinking an intruder is in the house, hearing the intruders footsteps, hearing the gas cooker being turned on, feeling the presence of spirits around me, seeing peoples faces change (aggressive & fierce) and jumping out at me, mumbling voices (cant make out what is being said), hands and limbs can look large and feel not my own, feeling of being trapped in a body that is not my own and wanting to escape.

I mentioned all these symptoms to my psychiatrist who said these were symptoms that are part of OCD, but the information I've been reading online suggests it is most likely a Psychotic Disorders. I like to know if this is part of OCD? or if I have a Psychotic Disorders, can anyone tell me if they have experienced this or even heard of anyone with OCD experiencing this?

Hi

I understand you concern.

Do not think what internet has mentioned. It is just informative but real and practical aspect is different in every patients.

Just trust to your doctor.

It can possible that OCD may associated with psychotic feature but it is part of OCD.


Each and every patient of OCD is different it is not always same and occur in every patients.

But treatment of OCD can improve all the symptoms that you have.

So continue to take medicines and regular follow up.

Thank you.
