Suggest Treatment For Mental Disturbance

Hi, For quite a few yeares now I have been saying things in my head that are worrying and nasty and it is getting worse, I just want it all to stop. I can be walking down the street and look at someone I have never seen before and say in my head I dont wish they were dead or Slag or other bizzare things. I look at family photographs and say in my head I wish they would dye their hair blue and I wish my kids were dead funny . I am worried and just want to stop having these phrases going on in my mind. I also tag nice things three times because there are the important people in my life, Me and my two children. If I think my brothers would like it I tag it with a five because there are five in that family. I am really worried about my head, Can you please help me?

Hello,
I think your repeated intrusive thoughts are symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder. In OCD, the thoughts are repetetive, intrusive and the person is unable to stop these thoughts.
The firt choice treatment is anti obsessional medication like fluoxetine or sertraline. You would have to take these medicines for 6-9 months. These will take atleast 1month to show its effect.
Hope you find this helpful.
Thanks.
