Talk to Psychiatry on Ocd Or Not

Hello Doctor.

I think I may have OCD and would like your opinion.

For a long time, I have been having thoughts about impurity (najasah). Almost everything I touch feels impure to me, so I wash my hands after touching many things. I also avoid touching objects because I feel they are impure.

Bathing has become very difficult. I can spend around two hours taking a bath because I don't feel clean enough.

We have animals at home, and if someone touches them and then touches other things without washing their hands, I start feeling that those things have also become impure. These thoughts make me very anxious and affect my daily life. I haven't been able to explain this properly to my family.

I wanted to ask:

- Do these symptoms sound like OCD? - If yes, what treatment do you recommend? - Can OCD be completely cured? - About how long does treatment usually take?

Thank you.
