Instead of avoiding pain, take the initiative.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a group of neuroses with obsessive-compulsive thinking and obsessive-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, and involuntarily produce certain thoughts or behaviors. Obsessive-compulsive disorder consists of two elements:

One element is the concept of compulsion, which refers to lingering thoughts;

Another factor is compulsive behavior, which refers to a specific behavior that occurs repeatedly.

Instead of avoiding pain, take the initiative.

At first, OCD sufferers want to "strive for perfection" and "avoid pain" unrealistically. Later, symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder appeared, accompanied by anxiety and other distress. Obsessive-compulsive disorder patients reject "obsessional symptoms and accompanying pain" as "foreign objects" and focus on overcoming obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

Only caring about wishes, not looking at the effect, finally fell into a vicious circle and fell into a quagmire that could not extricate itself. Like a person falling into a swamp. The more he struggled, the faster he got stuck.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is the most painful mental illness of all neuroses. The phenomenon of coercion and anti-coercion is inconceivable to them, and they abhor it. To use a phenomenological explanation, they are a model of "fighting their own shadows to the death".

Many people with OCD do not actively seek psychotherapy. The primary condition of psychotherapy is that the patient has the motivation to seek help. If you've told him how to find resources for psychotherapy and counseling, all that's left is to respect his personal decision.

Psychotherapy is recommended for patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Under the guidance of a psychiatrist, they should try to communicate with others, build relationships of love and trust, and gain caring and self-esteem.
