Suggest treatment for compulsive disorder
Patient: My question has to do with an associate, and may pertain more towards mental illness. Regardless he is a good friend and I would like to help. He demonstrates compulsive disorder, cannot stay still, walks around all the time, when standing sways from side to side. His correspondence sometimes is missing whole thoughts, does not make sense. He has become irratabile and looking for confrontation, in face will disagree with just about anybody. He does not want to see others grow in the jobs which is a big part of his job. Always negative and assignes projects which go nowhere. Can you help me....John V Doctor: DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The description given here may not be enough to diagnose your friends proper problem. But it seems to be hyperactivity rather than obsessive disorder. ADHD do have obsessive behavior patterns. Correct diagnosis and proper treatment should be done for a cure. Advising and motivating your friend to visit a psychiatrist is the correct thing you can do.If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR.
