what is the best cure for.OCD?

Question:

i suffer from obsesive thinking

Answers:
Your Doctor should refer you to a psychiatrist for a proper assessment. Your psychiatrist can give you medications to help you while also offering psychotherapy.

You learn to write your diary, so you can later on see what events lead you to become obsessed with your thoughts. This helps you regain control in the sense that you learn to identify what causes the obsessive thinking, enabling you to work on it. Part of the therapy should include stress management and relaxation techniques, as well as talk therapy and counselling.

There are different types of counselling adapted to your case and my favourite has to be cognitive therapy because it is softer than other forms while also giving you more control.

Writing about your thoughts, illustrating them with either drawings, pictures helps you as well. I often find that patients who go for an album (Illustrations) sort of diary feel more relax. They can express themselves better than they might in words.
