How to treat severe obsessive-compulsive disorder?

Psychological problems have gradually become a very troublesome disease in people's lives. There are many types of psychological problems. Among them, mysophobia is a relatively common symptom. People with mysophobia tend to attach great importance to self-hygiene in life. From the perspective of others, this is excessive cleanliness, which will cause great trouble to themselves and others' lives. Let’s take a look at how to treat severe obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Mysophobia refers to being too obsessed with cleanliness and paying more attention to cleanliness than the average person to the point that it affects normal study, work, life and social interaction. Excessive mysophobia is a manifestation of mental illness, which is also a common obsessive-compulsive disorder. The specific manifestation of obsessive-compulsive disorder is that the patient has just cleaned or cleaned some time ago, but the patient will repeat the same operation or similar operation again once or multiple times.

Treatment:

1. Accept symptoms: Symptoms are an integral part of oneself. Rejecting them is actually rejecting oneself, which will only aggravate the symptoms and increase anxiety and pain. No matter how anxious and painful it is, accept the symptoms. If you accept the symptoms in your mind (actually accept the "fear"), your anxiety will be alleviated. Accepting symptoms will not be effective in a day or two; it requires a process. Accepting symptoms requires wisdom and courage, and requires continuous understanding through practice.

2. Devote yourself wholeheartedly to life and find the joy and value of life in life: become more relaxed, optimistic, decisive and brave day by day in life, and feel more fulfilled day by day in life. When life is full and happy, symptoms have no place to stay.

3. Accepting symptoms does not mean compromising with them: Subjectively, you have realized that there is no need to cleanse, but you continue to cleanse. This is compulsive addiction. In life, on the basis of accepting "fear", we must promptly interrupt this compulsive behavior. It will be hard and painful at first, but it will pass. As long as you hold on, it will get easier and easier each time until the symptoms disappear.
