Ocd and fears of catching stomach bugs. how can i relieve these fears?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Behavior Therapy: Bt and meds together are used to treat this. Fears of germs and or becoming sick are very common types of ocd. You start with deciding if your fears are causing undue distress or interfering in your life or effecting functioning. It can be a focus of treatment and be addressed by learning about ocd treatment.
