I read some time back about OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). It seems in this people have the habit of doing things again and again- like checking doors, washing hands and all. They keep on doing this many times and are never stop  something like that.

This is a disorder where the patient repeatedly does the same job repeatedly. My friend's brother had same kind of problem. He used to check the door whether it is locked or not several times in the night. This became very severe and he was awake whole night to check the door. Later he was taken to pshychiatrist and he was started on some medications, now he feels better. Doctor told he need to take the treatment for lifelong

I think youre nuts. Is it not peculiar that checking doors now and then, 100 times washing the floor is something people do it intentionally

I also have similar kind of problem on long back. I easily come out of that OCD by insisting my mind by telling not to think about the completed action. So try this and u will definitely come out of this situation with in short period.

fluoxatine is a good medicine provided that correct doses. consult your doctor for correct doses or change of drug. Surgery is not required how ever correct doses and correct medicine is required if one is not working. Also keep in mind that OCD treatment usually takes many months to get treated.
