Truly only a medical professional can diagnose obsessive compulsive disorder, or ADD. That being said, obsessive compulsive disorder affects different people in various ways.

For example, some people must count incessantly; others must run around the block to to make sure they did not hit anybody in their car. Some people however wash their hands incessantly. And yet others must have things in a specific location. Others feel a overwhelming sense of awesome responsibility, as if one wrong movement or a act could resolve a complete disaster.

So you see there’s not one simple answer for every person. It’s something that you would probably need to sort out with professional like Dr. Jain.
If it does turn out that you have obsessive compulsive disorder, in addition to attention deficit disorder, it is not the end of the world. Help is available to learn to modify your behavior and get the most effective medication to treat your symptoms.

After all boards like this exist to help people like us. Good idea to see your Dr. so he or she can help sort out your issues. It sort of like if you had a heart condition you take medicine for that right? So when you have issues like obsessive compulsive disorder possibly, or attention deficit disorder, it makes sense that you might need medication for that too? Right?

I can say that I’ve definitely benefited from behavior modification and medication. My ability to focus and work through issues has improved since making these changes. Good luck and keep talking to all of us that can relate.
