Patient's question:
Feeling like I have severe selective disorder, for example, when I go shopping for clothes, the same style but different colors, I dislike this one and can't bear that one, making it impossible to make a decision and causing inner distress. After finally selecting an item, I still keep asking others how it suits me, and if their answers are negative, it only intensifies my distress. Standing at a crossroads, where both paths can lead to the destination, but I'm indecisive about which one to take, always murmuring which path to choose, even if I walk dozens of meters and then turn back to take the other path.Help needed: Hello doctor, how should I be treated?
Doctor's answer:
The patient consulted about the treatment methods for selective mutism. According to the patient, there is indeed a recurrence of difficulties in decision-making, which interferes with their mental state. It is recommended to try making decisions more often and consciously control the hesitation after making a decision. Finally, the patient should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent the recurrence of the condition.
