Hi doctor, I am observing obsession since last two to three years. I discussed my symptoms with a doctor at icliniq and he told me it is due to OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder). Firstly, I have this problem if a topic or matter emotionally bothers me. I keep calling my mother frequently on phone and start talking for long duration. I cannot be without calling as we both stay in different state. If I do not get a chance to call my mother then I call to any of my friend and talk about the same topic. When a topic or thought rotates in my head my focus tends to go there only so current work gets disturbed. I do will start cooking and then forget and go to other room to start another work. Even though in office I always works good, recently observing that my focus is diverting from my work to other work where my mind tends to stay. Because of this, my current task is getting affected. Secondly, I am very absent minded at home. In office also I sometimes forget to attend daily meetings where all project teams come and give updates regarding their progress of tasks. I also forget sometimes to check fingerprint in office which is for security purpose. I have stopped taking care of myself. My life is not routine oriented at all. I am poor in time management also. When I am at home, I generally walk and keep eating something. In office whenever I call mother from my mobile I cannot relax or stay at same area and I keep walking and talking over phone. Please guide me. What should I do to reduce my OCD, absent mindedness, anxiety and restless nature? These are immensely bothering me. Do you offer psychotherapy online for these? What is the procedure to attend psychotherapy sessions online? Please guide. Thanks.
Hi. I read your query with keen interest and agree with your doctor who suggested OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) for current symptoms. In addition, it appears to me that there is secondary depression. So, your diagnosis for current condition can be called OCD with secondary depression. Regarding treatment part, both psychotherapy and medications are effective for control of symptoms. I do offer psychotherapy for OCD and depression on weekly basis lasting for 10-12 weeks. Majority of the patients get benefited with psychotherapy of such duration. In addition, few patients who have moderate to severe symptoms need medications in addition to therapy.
