Since last 2.5 years he says that He felt very guilt after seeing any Dirt, any Potty, any Drainage, sound while Someone cleaning his tongue. He always says that due to this the dirt things live in his mind and After Spitting or drinking water, he feels ok. But the most dangerous problem is that, He says he is having a continuous headache (24x7) since last 2.5 years. He is loosing hair too. His hair are thin. So he keeps head shaved for every 15 days.

Dear Gaurav, Your brother may be suffering from OCD - Obsessive compulsive disorder. Because of his obsessive thought of dirt and he does a compulsive action of spitting. It relieves him temporarily for sometime. Again he will think of dirt. It is a treatable disorder with tablets and therapy. The treatment goes on for a long term more than 2 years. During the treatment, he can continue his studies. About hair fall and headache, i need more details about the type, duration, site, precipitating and relieving factors, associated symptoms, etc.
