Patient's question:
Description of the problem: Sometimes I think about something repeatedly, and I probably have obsessive-compulsive disorder. But every time I keep thinking about something and then think about the outcome, I feel uncomfortable all over, sweat, and after a while, I feel like I'm about to ejaculate. It makes me very troubled. I don't know why, but after thinking about things and overthinking them, how could I ejaculate? Is this a disease? It has happened many times! Whenever I repeatedly think about something, this situation occurs!!!Doctor's answer:
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a neurosis characterized primarily by obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. It is marked by the coexistence of conscious self-imposed pressure and conscious self-opposition. Patients are aware that the persistence of obsessive-compulsive symptoms is meaningless and irrational, yet they cannot control their repeated occurrence. The more they try to resist, the more tense and distressed they feel. In cases of prolonged illness, ritualistic behaviors may become the main manifestation. Although significant relief from mental suffering may be achieved, social functioning is severely impaired. Treatment primarily involves supportive psychotherapy, and behavioral therapy can be applied to compulsive behaviors, with response prevention being particularly effective.
