A member asked:
Had very mild ocd before taking antidepressants. i stopped taking them and i can't stop being compulsive thoughts and actions. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A mental health: Professional needs to diagnose ocd. Symptoms may include a fear that something bad is going to happen if you don't, e.g., more a certain way, say certain words, count things, etc. Psychological and/or medical help can be effective. Peace and good health. Antidepressants can be used to treat OCD so there is a relationship but a professional will need to assess that.
