Is this some for of OCD?!


Question: Is this some for of OCD!?
It's quite hard to explain really!. For example, if I ever scratch my middle finger on one hand, I HAVE to scratch the middle finger on my other hand!. It just has to be symmetrical, I don't know why!. If I see something in the shape of a circle, like a door handle!. I always have to put a finger on the middle of it!. If I don't, it really stresses me out because, well I don't know, it's just not right!. I know how stupid it sounds but I cant help it!. Is this some sort of obsessive compulsive disorder!? If so, does it have a name!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
its a form of compulsive disorder but many people have things that they feel the need to do!. I have a weird thing where things have to be symetrical, knife and fork on my plate have to be the right way round, shoes on the floor have to be left and right and not right and left!.

The only time its becomes OCD is when it intefers with your life and you wory that something bad will happen if you dont do these things!.

I would say that if its not interferring with your life and you dont worry about the consequenses if you dont touch circles then i wouldnt worry!. If worrys you then talk to someone!.

Have you seen the film as good as it gets!? now that is OCD!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, OCD involves malicious, disturbing thoughts that the sufferer finds difficult to push out - obsessions!. The compulsions, your 'monkish' touch the pole, clean everything, put your finger in the middle of round objects, are a way to force the mind to think about something else!. I can't tell you with absolute certainty that this little condition of yours isn't OCD, but I doubt it is!. There are other tick disorders, such as Turret'sWww@Answer-Health@Com

It could be OCD!. It affects everyone differently!. My daughter does everything in fours!. Has to check every door even though I just did!. For a while it interfered with her life, until we got her on meds!. Zoloft has helped!. Doctor said she may be able to lower the dosage as she gets older!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
