@uzairkashtwari92 Hello. My daughter has OCD. She went to a very kind woman who is a hypnotherapist. She taught my daughter ways to deal with not only the OCD, but her anxiety attacks also. I am not saying that a hypnotherapist would be an answer for you, because I think it was more that my daughter related well with this woman. My daughter takes paxel eevery day and that seems to help her. You could try a psychiatrist and meds, it is the only way you will know if it can help you. You cannot really go by other people's experiences for that kind of thing; as treatment is tailor-made for your situation. They can now do genetic testing to see what meds your body will metabulize the best. That cuts back on the trial and error of being put on various medications. As far as stigma goes, that it starting to go away. The brain is a complex thing, and people are starting to get more educated about mental health. Finding a Good psychiatrist is the tricky part. You may want to ask around for a recommendation from others. If you do not know of anybody to ask, then contact your local NAMI chapter in your area. They are a wonderful mental health organization that can offer you many resources for help. They also have wonderful support groups and classes (free). I took the 12 week Family-to-Family course and it was a real eye opener. Did you want to share what symptoms you are experiencing right now?

Thanks for your reply! The same thing, urge to take a deep breath and it doesnt seem satisfying! I try couple of times and may be one breath comes out satisfying! It is frustrating as normal breathing doesnt seem satisfying! I hope the meds work and i take my mind away from this!!! N yes i do have genetic overloading, my dad, grandpa and maternal aunt suffer from one or the other form of psychiatric issue! So for me m sure it is psychiatric! But m thinking is, will i ever stop this, coz it is breathing that u can not take your mind away from coz you’re doing it thousands of times everyday! I dont know it is debilitating
