I feel like i have symptoms of a form of ocd. really starting to become a daily hassle and really affects my mood, how do i know for sure?

Based on Severity: In general obsessive compulsiveness can be a good trait, but becomes a disorder when the desire ( or compulsion ) to perform a task is so overwhelming ( obsession ) that it begins to disrupt any one of several areas of your life. Work, home, legal, physical health, emotional health are some of the main areas. Suggest you consider disscussion with your primary care physician.

See a psychiatrist: If concerned that you might have ocd and/or a mood problem, consult with a psychiatrist or psychologist for a thorough evaluation. Discussing your concerns in person with someone who can help you synthesize things, will be the best way. You will also be able to receive effective treatment, if needed.

Research Really Pays: 2 ensure u get most effective treatment(s), 1st research ocd & learn all u can about it. 2nd, learn about what treatments are effective.> i suggest starting w/the international ocd foundation: ocfoundation.Org. But take advantage of experts: consult w/a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist who specializes in ocd. Expert can help rule out other problems that may look like or accompany ocd.
