What are the causes and treatments of perfectionism obsessive-compulsive disorder

Nowadays, there are many fashionable young people, more commonly women, who advocate perfectionism. In fact, advocating perfectionism and pursuing perfection are beneficial to our lives and physical and mental health. However, excessive pursuit of perfection is considered perfectionism obsessive-compulsive disorder. Let me share with you the causes and treatments of perfectionism obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Modern urban white-collar workers face high work pressure and fierce competition, and are inevitably fragile and impatient. In an environment of economic downturn, high income pressure and high job elimination rate, young white-collar workers with poor self-control or perfectionist personality are more likely to develop obsessive psychology, thereby causing obsessive-compulsive disorder.

People with perfectionism tendencies always want themselves and everything about them to be perfect. They are intolerant of any minor faults and mistakes, and they pay attention to neatness and order, and do not allow the slightest deviation. Perhaps these characteristics make them conscientious, reliable, punctual and trustworthy, but even so, it is difficult for them to make things perfect. More and more people are entering psychological counseling rooms because they suspect that they have obsessive-compulsive personality or compulsive tendencies. Among them, a large number are white-collar workers in the workplace, and a considerable proportion of them are in management positions. News from other sources also shows that the number of people consulting about issues related to obsessive-compulsive disorder has been increasing year by year in recent years, especially in some cities with high competitive pressure.

Psychological experts suggest that people with compulsive behavior should strengthen communication with the outside world and others, learn to look at problems from multiple perspectives, not limit themselves to their own world and concepts, and consciously force themselves not to doubt themselves. For those who have compulsive behaviors but do not yet have a mental illness, psychiatrists offer several methods of self-relief:

Psychological hint: For example, if you suspect that the car door is not locked, after locking the door for the first time, stand next to the car and repeatedly tell yourself in your heart: "I have locked the door, now turn around and leave, it's okay!" Repeat this several times and keep doing it.

Note reminder: Put a note in a conspicuous place on your desk that says "I've done a great job! Very good!" to remind yourself not to pursue perfection in everything.

Self-statistics: Make a statistical table to check in which areas you have repetitive compulsive behaviors throughout the day and record the number of times you repeat them. At the same time, set goals for yourself and require yourself to gradually reduce the number of times you compulsively do something.

In fact, perfectionism and obsessive-compulsive disorder are mostly caused by psychological factors. Each of us can pursue perfection appropriately, but if we pursue it blindly, it will be very detrimental to our lives, including the friends around us, so we must learn to control ourselves. I hope my answer is helpful to you and I wish you good health.
