Patient's question:
I have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Hello, is this symptom obsessive thinking? For example, when I'm thinking about breathing quickly, I actually breathe quickly. If I'm busy with something else and suddenly stop thinking about it, it returns to normal. But once I think about it again, it happens the same way.Doctor's answer:
Dear Inquirer,This is a type of obsessive-compulsive disorder. In fact, what it is doesn’t matter. What matters is how you can change this situation—by not striving for perfection. Don’t overfocus on details, and enrich your life with more activities. Try to spend more time alone, cultivate some hobbies, and shift your attention to personal growth. You can also give yourself more positive psychological affirmations.
