Question: Hi doctor, please read my query carefully. I have severe OCD and i know that i ask a lot of questions like this but please answer me and please please read all my question. I was doing a compulsion that is repeating a word again and again. Because everytime i repeat it, a bad feeling and a thought come into my head saying that this will cause DNA and genes mutations to my brain's cells and i will get brain cancer. So i was repeating the word to get rid of this thought and this bad feeling. And since those feelings and thoughts are not controllable ive got bored and i stopped the compulsion and thinking suddenly. But another thought popped up in my mind saying what if this sudden stop of thinking and the sudden stop of the compulsion affect negativelly my brain's cells and this cause DNA damages and genes mutations? And i've had a real and very bad feeling that this happened (by doing that i caused to my brain's cells or some of them DNA damages and genes mutations). And the feeling was so real that this indeed happened : (DNA damages and genes mutations occured because i stopped thinking and doing the compulsion suddenly) Can this happen doctor? Why the feeling is sooooo real whyyyy? Can this sudden stop of thinking and doing the compulsion and the sudden stop of the flow of thoughts cause harm to the brain's cells DNA and genes and cause mutations in a direct way?? Is the feeling that i felt and i feel about harming DNA and genes and causing mutations real?? Or it is just a OCD feeling? Doctor can we access DNA and genes and cause mutations and harm to them just by thoughts or by the content of a thought? I ask a lot of questions about this doctor because the so real feeling of damaging DNA and causing genes mutations that comes with the compultion and the thought make me so confused, is this feeling real or no? Did i hurt or harm my brain's cells genes and caused mutations to them just by stopping the flow of thoughts suddenly? or even in other times by having a feeling of damaging them (DNA and genes) when i think about everything or say anything like any normal person? And the matter is that this feeling is uncontrollable. Even when i repeat the compultions (saying a word or whatever the compultion is) i have the same feeling every time. For that reason i repeat that many times, to get rid of this feeling (The feeling that i didn't do the compulsion correctly like saying the word correctly or whatever and because of that, DNA and genes mutations will occur in my brain cells in this compulsion that i am writing to you now or in another organ in other compulsions). Is this real doctor? Please answer my questions and sorry because i ask many questions like this. Do we have the ability to control and damage DNA and genes by thinking or by way of thinking in a direct way? Do we have access to DNA and genes through thinking? Directly?? Is sudden stress or sudden stop of thinking or any activity like that affect directly the genes and the DNA instantly and cause instant damage and mutations especially when we have a thought and a fear and a stress related to that in that specific moment? Is there a thing that we do with our minds: (way of thinking - overthinking - sad memories thinking - stopping thinking suddenly - stopping the flow of thoughts suddenly or whatever) can cause like trauma or something bad instantly directly to brain's cells DNA and genes and cause mutations instantly directly?? I hope that you answer my questions doctor and sorry because i asked many questions like those before. I really need your help. Waiting for your answer. Thanks.
