Is this mental sickness

People who react for very small issues, and people who are always bothered about cleanliness around them are suffering some mental sickness

You cannot be very sure of that until a psychiatrist makes a counselling with them. But one who keeps bothering about cleanliness can be very well be a part of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

A known friend spends a long time at the wash basin washing his hands. The same friend checks his lock many times if it is properly locked or not. And another kind is, he imagines that he is suffering from some ailment, though the doctor says, he's not having any diseases/.These are behavioral abnormalities. A doctor/ psychologist should be consulted before jumping to conclusions.

All these symptoms are part of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. But as you rightly mentioned you cannot jump to a conclusion without consulting a doctor/ psychiatrist.

The differences between each ailment are subtle. Commoner cannot detect them. Self medication and self diagnosis are dangerous.

Yes. These are not self medicated. If patient understands sickness, he is half cured. He will be okay by auto suggestion and changing habit or attitude.

I agree. Psychiatric illness can be improved just by mere counselling.

There is very thin line in between people who like to keep things clean and those who are mentally sick and repeatedly keep cleaning or doing same things because they are not sure about themselves. This is a complex problem, which does not go easily without friends, and relatives helping them recover constantly. Also people who keep repeating the same mistakes and feel irritated if someone points it out to them come into the same category. They do not want to mend their ways.

It is much more complicated and difficult to diagnose a mental disorder since the difference between what is normal and what is abnormal is very flimsy ...like for example a very clean and tidy person might like to wash his or her hands several times , so how many times is normal ? and how many times isn't normal , is difficult to assess. A combination of several such abnormal behavioral patterns coming together may be an indicative of mental disorder, but again that should be concluded by a psychiatrist and not a layman..

That's exactly what I thought, but you said it better.

This is absolutely a relative situation. No one can be sure of how many times is normal.

In a case of suicide, the person left a suicide note stating that inner voices commanded him to commit suicide. psychiatrists who treated him earlier opined the deceased was a Schizophrenic.commoners thought that he was possessed by a spirit. psychiatrist alone can assess the cause

Its a case i used to stress the need of a psychiatrist who can assess the case correctly. If a suicide note is not found people will live with blind beliefs and spread that deceased was possessed by spirits.

Blind faith is not affected by any scientific evidence or note. Those who believe in evil spirits will not accept any expert's views. Seeing a psychiatrist is okay for treatment but nobody can cure the blind faith which id deeply rooted.

The aim is not to cure the blind faith, Its to know the scientific cause behind such blind beliefs. Still people are there who are interested to know the cause behind such cases. At least they will be benefited.

Self medication is dangerous in any health problem. But this practice is increasing every day. the reason behind it is medical aid is much costly. No one like to go to doctor in minor health problem like headach, viral etc.

Not that alone. Earlier people (Exception: doctors) do not know anything about medicines. But now common people too knows a lot about certain commonly prescribed medicines.

Reminds me of an inciudent that happened with one of my relatives - He had problem with his sight so he was using his sisters discarded glasses ( she had graduated to higher power) and he was diabetic and taking the same medicine as his sister.When he was asked why? he said because it was all one and the same. Later when his sickness became serious , it was too late and he died with blood sugar complications within a matter of an year ...
