OCD always doubts everything

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is medically classified as a mental illness, and its symptoms are mostly caused by fixed thinking, which can affect people's daily lives at the mildest level and our spiritual world at the worst. Obsessive-compulsive disorder has many manifestations, such as drooling obsessive-compulsive disorder, repetitive obsessive-compulsive disorder, and childhood obsessive-compulsive disorder. Next we are going to talk about the symptom of obsessive skepticism, which is to be skeptical about everything.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a relatively common disease. Patients are always troubled by obsessive thoughts and have repeated obsessive thoughts and behaviors in their lives. The patient's self-awareness is intact, and he is in great pain but cannot get rid of it. Obsessive-compulsive disorder has various manifestations, one of which is obsessive doubt. ——525 Psychology Network

Obsessive-compulsive doubt is mainly manifested in that patients with obsessive-compulsive doubt always doubt what they do, doubt its effectiveness, and some people even doubt whether they have done it at all. The various behaviors of obsessive-compulsive doubt make patients exhausted, but helpless.

Patients with obsessive-compulsive doubt are unable to trust themselves and always doubt that they have not done their job well. They keep checking and making assumptions. Even if I find that my work is done perfectly every time after checking, I still can't believe that I have done it well. This typical obsessive suspicion causes great distress to the patient.

No matter how careful you are during the operation, you will inevitably have doubts after completing a task. Although you are told countless times in your heart that "I can't do this, there is no need to do this", you still can't get rid of the suspicion that is beyond your control; after going out, you suspect that the doors and windows are not closed properly and go back to check repeatedly, and this doubt appears uncontrollably; after constantly doubting your own behavior, you often need to ask others and get confirmation from others; you always suspect that you are contaminated by the environment and germs; you suspect that you are about to do something that harms society, etc.

Compulsive doubt is also manifested in the fact that new, more serious doubts will constantly replace previous less serious doubts. The patient is aware of the existence of suspicious thoughts and often proves that a certain suspicion is false by recalling and repeatedly simulating in his mind. However, once a suspicious event is truly confirmed, the event previously replaced by it is likely to resurface and become the object of suspicion again. In other words, as long as the symptoms are not cured, the events that cause suspicion will repeat themselves endlessly for the patient.

At present, the treatment method for obsessive-compulsive doubt generally adopts psychotherapy as the main treatment method, which is very effective in treating the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive doubt.
