Dear sir/ madam, I am a 46 years old guy who is unmarried and unemployed. I have OCD (cleanliness, hand washing with soap after most activities) Whenever I move out in the city I live the dust pollution which flies all over due to wind especially after the rains dry bothers me. The dust and mud mostly fly all over my body. This bothers me throughout while I am in the city. I cannot stand the feeling of getting dusty. I feel miserable, dirty, angry, going insane, crying, depressed, irritated and when I reach home I make it a point to have a bath before I sleep. Without a bath I wouldn't feel like sleeping. How do I stop myself from feeling miserable, angry, depressed, irritated, crying, going insane. Awaiting your reply, Rgds, Monty.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common mental health problem. Symptoms typically include recurring thoughts and repetitive actions in response to the recurring thoughts. A common example is recurring thoughts about germs and dirt, with a need to wash your hands repeatedly to "clean off the germs" However, there are many other examples like sexual thoughts, counting, checking, orderliness, etc. The usual treatments are cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant medicine, or both. Treatment often works well to reduce the symptoms and distress of OCD greatly. Consult a psychiatrist. All the best.
