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 your sexual thoughts, are very common. The usual treatments are cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant medicine, or both.

Hi, Thanks for writing in, welcome to the forum. OCD is a disorder and the causation is multifactorial. Genetics, envionmental influences, chemical changes in the brain etc result in certain neuronal circuits to become hyperactive - as a result of this certain thoughts and actions can become repetitive. In your case, we need to first confirm if this is indeed OCD that you are having. Then, depending upon the exact situation, medicines or CBT or a combination of the both will be needed. In your case, based on the limited information, it seems that medicines will be required. The medicines are safe, non-addictive and not intended to be sleep medicines. Dont worry, plenty of people with similar problems get well everyday and so will you. Take care!
