Dear Teentalker,

Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern.  It is great that you are aware that there is an issue.

OCD or obsessive-compulsive disorder is a compulsive and intrusive habit. It can take on many forms. But before I go ahead may I ask since when you are experiencing this? What are some of the signs and symptoms that you have noticed in you? Let me write down a few classic OCD symptoms:

 In OCD a person is:

• Is preoccupied with details, rules, lists, order, organization, or schedules to the extent that the major point of the activity is lost
• Shows perfectionism that interferes with task completion (e.g., is unable to complete a project because his or her own overly strict standards are not met)
• Is excessively devoted to work and productivity to the exclusion of leisure activities and friendships (not accounted for by obvious economic necessity)
• Is over conscientious, scrupulous, and inflexible about matters of morality, ethics, or values (not accounted for by cultural or religious identification)

It is important to note that these symptoms should come in the way of your day to day life, in a way that they inconvenience you and/or those around you. If any of the above signs and symptoms are present, please seek psychiatric consultation for the same and then you may attend counseling sessions. You can also refer to our website and talk to a counselor as well. Also, please remember to talk to family members and close friends about the same so as to feel lighter and gain support.
