How can delusional and irrational ideas be curbed?
human
I often, actually all the time think of delusional and irrational "theories", these little tweaks that I can apply to my life that will change something drastically, for example, nose breathing to be better looking. The things I think of don't even connect in anway. I think coffee will make me perfect in all my endeavors, things like that. Once I put 12 tic tacs in a 500 ml of water and let it dissolve, and then drank it. I thought it'd make me somehow, "perfect". there are more of what I did on @takenbyocpd on twitter, please help me, i thought i had ocpd but i don't know anymore

Hello,This is not like OCD. It is more of a wishful thinking and when you have it you tend to follow the though.  Later you realize that it was all absurd..but such thoughts come on and off to you.This can be said to be a part of spectrum of psyhosis, but not actually psyhosis. However, as the symptoms seem to bother you now and before you loose touch with the reality completely, it will be wise to start with low dose antipsychotics. Drugs like- palliperidone or amisulpride are sufficient. You may consult your doctor for the same.Also, avoid drinking alcohol/smoke /using cannabis-they can aggravate the matter even more and render this more difficult to treat.Wish you luck.Dr. Manisha GopalMD Neuropsychiatry
