Obsessive Compulsive Behavior (ODB) has been classified as a mental disorder. These days, more and more people had contracted this ‘disease’. Comparing to the early days around 19th centuary, people had never heard of ODB, therefore it should be a modern day ‘disease’. Has people contracted this due to too much of worries or too much emphasis on make no mistakes or hygiene? Lets look into some of these cases…
ODB Case 1
Lucy, a lady at her mid thirties, who disclose that she has contracted ODB after being reprimanded by another department manager for forgetting to switch off the room lights during a long school holiday, wasting school electricity. After that incident, she contracted ODB that causes her to check again and again that room lights has been off, doors have been shut properly behave leaving the office. She check repeatedly, doing the same procedure, before leaving. She admit that there’s rise of anxiety while doing this repeated checking. When her colleague came to know about this, they spread it to other colleague, making her feeling embaress.
A solution has been provided by a sympathetic colleague: Check that lights are off and doors are shut just once and leave the place, not looking back anymore. Lucy tried and it works initially, but back to her bad habit again.
Another solution from a friend, let go of the fear. Lucy is still trying on it.
Lucy repel the idea of medication as she feel that it is artificial. If you have any natural remedy that can help her, do leave down your comments here.
