Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?

Question

I've had severe OCD-like symptoms for the past four or so years -- I'm 16 right now. For example, once I stayed up to 2:00 in the morning removing scuff marks from my room's walls, but subjectively didn't improve anything because I seem to have lost any sort of sense of what "perfection" or even what "good enough" is. This is driving me crazy and I can't stand it any more, but I also can't stand not doing these things... It has begun to permeate other areas of my life now as well. Is this something that is self-improvable or do I need to see a doctor for treatment?

Answer 1

Go see a psychiatrist. There are medications that can treat OCD. I'm on Luvox and it works great.

Answer 2

see doctor for treatment
