Instead of avoiding pain, it is better to be proactive.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a group of neurosis with obsessive thinking and compulsive behavior as the main clinical manifestations. Patients know that this is unnecessary and even painful, but they cannot get rid of it, which affects their study, work, interpersonal communication and even daily life.

Do you feel comfortable squeezing toothpaste from the bottom up? Have you ever gone out, but always suspected that the door was unlocked, when you went back to check?

In fact, this is obsessive-compulsive disorder.

People seem to be driven by a force but unable to resist, involuntarily produce certain thoughts or behaviors. OCD has two elements:

One element is obsessive concepts, which refer to lingering thoughts;

Another factor is compulsions, which refer to specific behaviors that occur repeatedly.

Instead of avoiding pain, it is better to be proactive.

Initially, OCD sufferers have unrealistic desires to "strive for perfection" and "avoid pain." Later, symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder appeared, accompanied by pain such as anxiety. Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder reject "obsessive-compulsive symptoms and accompanying pain" as "foreign objects" and concentrate on overcoming obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

They only care about their wishes and don't look at the results, and finally fall into a vicious circle and fall into a quagmire from which they cannot extricate themselves. Like a man falling into a swamp. The more he struggled, the sooner he got stuck.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is the most painful mental illness of all neuroses. The phenomenon of coercion and counter-coercion is inconceivable to them, and they abhor it. Using a phenomenological explanation, they are a model of "fighting to the death with one's own shadow".

Many OCD patients do not actively seek psychotherapy. The first condition of psychotherapy is that the patient should have the motivation to seek help. If you've told him how to find resources for psychotherapy and counseling, the rest is to respect his personal decision.

Psychotherapy is recommended for patients with OCD. Under the guidance of a psychologist, they should try to communicate with others, establish loving and trusting relationships, and gain caring and self-esteem.
