How to deal with obsessive compulsive disorder? I have stupid thoughts that I can become pregnant by sitting on the toilet seat which was spilled with semen or urine by a male. How should I help myself and not think about it. Can this happen? Also, what are the ways to deal with ocd.

Hi, One can see a psychiatrist for medication to treat OCD. In addition one can also see a psychologist for treatment of OCD using methods like graded exposure or systemtatic desensitisation. These methods have been very effective in helping a person reduce the obsessive thoughts by preventing the compulsions that follow these obsessive thoughts and challenging them. This helps to break the vicious cycle that maintains the OCD pattern. Hope this helps.
