But it did not intensify but later in 2017 it intensify to much extent that i am washing my self while taking shower and feels like that i do not wash it properly and then i started washing my hands to a intensity where i feel helpless and almoat take 30 minutes . At that time I graduated from university and where i learned about ocd and then i visit a psychiatrist who gave me zoloft medicine it helps me to reduce the intensity amd also regain my control but after 2 months of the prescribed medicine my symptoms start getting worse i consut the doctor but that dis not work out for me as they only increase dose and add another medicine due to whixh i put on extra 30 kg . So i decided to quit the medicine amd symtoms getting worse . Then i researched about ocd completely and use rituals which helps me to regain control now i have reduce the time and my compulsion to a extent which only waste my 15 minutes instead of 50 minutes . I write down every thing about it and think so that i can overcome it . I have a question for you can

you have done a great job.if you keep cutting on your compulsions you can achieve a sustainable improvement in ocd even without medication.But you have to effort regularly otherwise if you stop the ERP ocd is likely to return.

I am a clinial psychologist Dr Samina Hussain and i believe that a person can control his thoughts through his will power and determination.You are using right therapy techniques but to controll it completely you should overcome your negative thoughts as well.you should also apply relaxation exercises and mindfullness exercise which i have applied to ocd pts.Our most of cases are recovered now.
