Is this OCD? 2?!


Question: Is this OCD!? 2!?
Ok, I have a good friend he is having some strange thoughts, he is like telling " if the telephone will ring on the next 5 minutes, something bad will happen to me" , or he makes images in his head and says " did this happen or was my imagination"!? he understands his thoughts are ridiculous but he cant stop thinking of them, i told him to go to a psychologist!. any advice!?

I just read that people with OCD have strange thoughts but they know these thoughts are not real!.

I forgot to tell you, he also walks like 3 steps, or touches his car 3 times etc!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
those are most definitely signs of OCD!.!.repeated actions, and obsessions (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) are literally what OCD is all about!. people will obsess about small things!.!.but not in the way that non-OCD individuals will!. A disorder is only defined as such in a person, when it truly dibilitates them from daily activity!. If their daily life is being somewhat hampered by these actions and whatnot, then it may be considered a disorder!. People with OCD tend sometimes to feel that something will not be "right" if they dont do their actions!. A lot of OCD can be cured just by the person themself!.!.the key is to make sure that they understand not only the irrelevance of their actions but that to break it they need to stop their compulsions when they are happening!. Its very hard for them to do, so dont get frustrated with him or think that hes doing it to annoy you!.!.he needs to stop his compulsions on his own so that he realizes they are unnecessary!.!.if that doesnt work, you can try a psych!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

first advise you should give to him is tell him to stop or minimize watching suspense/horror movies!. repetetive actions coupled with irrational persistence to attain a goal is OCD!. anyway, have him checked by a Psychiatrist!.!.!. only if he wants to!. Being forced to do something will have a negative resultWww@Answer-Health@Com

He has OCD, and should see a therapist/psychologist if it starts to interfere with his life and cause him problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

sounds like it, but still check out a doctor

good luck :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
