Health Query

I am studying at canada. I had been to india for a couple of months recently where I was diagnosed with ocpd. I was prescribed nexito plus initially & after a couple of weeks doctor advised to switch over to nexito 5 mg. Things were more or less in control with the prescribed medicines in india. Now, I am back to canada & still having the medicines. I have increased my physical activity for my improvement but I am finding the panic attack once again returning back. The heart beat also turns rapid at that time. I am unable to understand why it is relapsing once again. I don't have much study pressure right. Can you please tell what might be the underlying cause of the same & what is the remedy.

I suggest that you seek the help of a counselor too. The behavior will then become based on magical thinking and certain rituals will become necessary to do normal things making you believe that either the frequency or the ritual is important to its success. This of course is a fallacy but there will come a time that e...more

You can get over this disorder if you combine therapy with medication. Medication alone will not resolve this condition. In counseling, you will learn skills, tools, and techniques to cope with the rituals and especially to deal with the fear. Please take your parents with you to meet the counselor to determine the possible developmental issues that may have contributed to this condition. Your mom's death was only a trigger. This is a fear-based condition and for some reason, you have not been d...more
