How to deal with obsessive-compulsive disorder caused by superstitious thoughts?

Patient's question:

A friend of mine is always mentally unstable, sometimes lucid and sometimes crazy. How should I deal with obsessive-compulsive beliefs?

Doctor's answer:

You yourself know that this is an outdated idea, but you still suppress the powerless desire to think about it. In this case, you can go for a follow-up consultation in the psychology department because it is a case of obsessive thinking. Follow-up consultations usually focus on Shintai therapy to treat obsessive thinking. For example, since you know that this is an unnecessary self-imposed obsession, you can just observe these thoughts floating by without confronting them.
