A member asked:

Is it common with anxiety/ocd to feel like you're going crazy, or losing your mind; because of all of the uncomfortable feelings associated with it?

Very common: In my experience, anxiety and ocd can be so severe that someone suffering from the symptoms associated with these conditions may very commonly think he or she is "going crazy" or "losing...Mind." i think the best treatment for ocd and associated anxiety is Abilify (aripiprazole) 2 mg each morning.

Anxiety/OCD: Yes, people with anxiety and ocd may feel like they're going crazy or losing their mind due to all the uncomfortable feelings they're experiencing. Obsessive thoughts associated with ocd can be very intense, and result in compulsive behaviors that feel like they're overtaking your life. Fortunately help is available for anxiety and ocd via psychiatrists and psychologists.
