Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.If the thoughts are repetitive, irrelevant, not under your control, causing distress so much that it’s hampering your day to day life and present for more than an hour you might have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can affect anyone and it can be treated with medication and behaviour therapy.Contact nearby psychiatric clinic for help. Learn how to get rid of these thoughts. Whenever these thoughts come try involving yourself in some other activity or start repeating in your mind 3 times go away. They will subside gradually. I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions. Regards, Dr. Rohit Kothari
