Hello doctor.I am a girl of 23 years old.I live in Mauritius.I have OCD since a long time and my life is like hell since a few years. Am really fed up and am not following any treatment because my parents feel this isn`t a problem and that am doing all those rituals like washing hands etc because all this is in my mind.They say one day i`ll definitely kill them because i always make them scream or angry due to my habits of washing hands and bathing for ling time.I really dnt knw what to do. Today my mum caught me washing my hands and arms and she was really angry and phoned a psychologist to take an appointment. Am happy actually that i can finally seek some help. But am afraid if the psychologist doesnt understand my problem then my parents will continue to blame me for everything.Plz tell me...am i a bad person if i have OCD?Should my parents support me if i have OCD?

hello welcome to health care magic Relax and don't worry. No you are not at all a bad person. Anyone can have any kind of problem in life. Your parents should definitely support you. Without family support, it will be difficult to get out of this problem. I advise you to take help of a psychiatrist as this condition is treatable with pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. Good Luck Thanks
