What is the best way to treat mysophobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is not uncommon in life. For these people, it actually has a great impact on their life and work. Therefore, they can try aversion therapy and slam therapy, which are introduced in detail below.

1. Aversion therapy

The rubber band method is often used. That is, the patient is asked to wear an elastic band on his wrist. Once he is about to perform compulsive actions or behaviors, he is asked to use the elastic band to tap his wrist dozens or even hundreds of times until the obsessive thoughts disappear and he feels pain, thereby achieving the purpose of suppressing the compulsive behavior.

2. Full-fill therapy:

Ask the patient to sit in the room and ask his friend or relative to act as an assistant. The patient relaxes his whole body, closes his eyes lightly, and then asks the assistant to apply various liquids on the patient's hands, such as water, ink, rice soup, oil, dye, etc. During the application, the patient should try to relax while the assistant tries his best to describe verbally that the hands are very dirty. The patient should try to endure it as much as possible until he can no longer endure it and opens his eyes to see how dirty it is. This is the key to treatment. The patient will feel very painful, but he or she must try to hold on, and the assistants around him or her should actively give encouragement.

3. Cognitive therapy:

Generally speaking, on the one hand, patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder feel troubled by their compulsive symptoms, especially compulsive actions, and hope that doctors can help them eliminate ideas and behaviors that they rationally believe are irrational; on the other hand, they believe in their hearts that these ideas and behaviors are reasonable and necessary. If cognitive insight psychotherapy is used in the form of conversation, patients can be inspired to recognize the psychological contradictions behind the external symptoms. Experts suggest: Patients can also find the fun and value of life by devoting themselves to life wholeheartedly: become more relaxed, optimistic, decisive and brave day by day, and feel more fulfilled day by day. When life is fulfilling and happy, it helps a lot in eliminating obsessive-compulsive symptoms. If obsessive-compulsive disorder seriously affects your normal life, you should go to a regular hospital for treatment in time.
