How To Stabilize Mental Health Of My Husband?

Hi,



I really really need your help.

My partner has suffered from the same problem for around 4/5 years maybe longer now. His problem is he overthinks...about the same stuff all the time. things in his past...did i do that?? what actually happened? when he knows he hasnt done anything wrong his overthinks it an questions whether he has. When we go out if he talks to a girl (even when i am there) he will think about it for months after what if i tried kissing her...was i chatting her up? what if i had cheated? even though i am with him the whole time and he knows he hasnt done anything wrong!He wakes up thinking about it and goes sleep thinking about it. He says he cant even feel his own feelings anymore, hes always tired from it, we havent had sex in 2 months i just dont know what to do! he saw a physciatrist 3 years ago and they prescribed him tablets but they just turned him into a zombie. Please can you help and tell me how we can get through this. Thank you x

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. From the description it is very much clear that your husband is a victim of obsessive thinking. It is a personality disorder and treatment is necessary. First he must be made aware that he has this problem and should be explained reasonably. This a psychologist can do. Then he should be motivated to follow a life style which is engaging. Called occupational therapy. Then his thinking (cognitive) style should be changed using positive techniques which is coming under Cognitive Behavior Therapy. A psychotherapist does this.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
