OCD psychosomatic?!


Question: I was going to talk to my doctor about it tomorrow and when I told my dad that he seemed to think it was just made worse by me reading about it. I'm still seeing the doctor, but could it really be in my head? Please give me some possibilities and some things that would go along with them so I can see what's really happening. (I mean like what would happen to me if it was psychosomatic, what would I be doing that proves it's pyschosomatic)
Does psychosomatic mean what I think it does, lol that's the word my dad used. THANKS.

talk to your doc and be real about it. A lot of people that dont understand what you are going through, will think that it;s all in your head when its a real issue. It sounds like your dad may just be in denial that there could potentially be something wrong. be straight up with your doc, hold nothing back. good luck!!

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder, so by definition it's always "in your head". The term "psychosomatic" doesn't really apply in this case because it generally refers to physical symptoms (real or imagined) that originate in the mind. I hate to say it, but it sounds like your dad is in denial. Parents never like to admit that there could be anything wrong with their children, but if you believe you're suffering from OCD you should seek help whether your dad agrees or not. Only you and your doctor and/or psychiatrist can determine if you need treatment or therapy.

everything is related to everything else...no matter what it is
