Yes, but what does she say is the reason for it? Is she worried about it or interested in it? Yes, a psychologist could certainly help in finding the reason/cause, and psychotherapy could help her overcome this problem, but she needs to be motivated to help herself. READ MORE
Why am I such an introvert?
You must have always been an introvert. I can understand how painful it can feel at some times. I truly believe that you should have therapy with a good clinician, because your situation (symptoms) most likely developed in relation to your experiences in childhood, and that needs to be explored in-depth. In the interim, try to open up to people a small bit at a time. Start with saying good morning to someone and look at their face. Start greeting people. Best wishes. READ MORE
Is OCD a disease or a habit?
Definitely NOT a habit. It is an uncontrollable urge, its cause or reason not readily understood by onlookers. It has to do with the afflicted person’s feeling or belief that she has no control over something and that if she does the rituals dictated by the illness, she will have the control she needs. The illness controls her. It needs to be understood by the person with a psychotherapist, and medication is very helpful. READ MORE
