Hello, I am 31 years old. I have OCD, what should I do to overcome it? How will I control my OCD thought? I could figure out this problem, but unable to work on this. I am not able to share with anyone also. Please help me.

@patatri A 2014 study published in the Journal of Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorders interviewed 777 college students in 13 different countries and found that around 94% of them had experienced at least one unwanted intrusive thought during the previous three months. While many experience these odd or even disturbing thoughts, most people don’t register them as an issue in their daily lives. The problem is when they become not just intrusive but obsessive. A person with OCD can experience intrusive thoughts relentlessly and with an intensity that can seriously affect their well-being. Rather than having a neutral response to a passing thought, a person with OCD experiences a response in their mind and body. The more they perseverate on the thought, the more anxiety they experience. The cycle can be distressing and may impact their ability to function.
