I hear OCD is very hard to deal with
1_Wizard
Yeah Obsessive-compulsive disorder makes people check things all the time, or perform routines repeatedly.

Yeah I hear it's hard to recover from and it affects peoples lives drastically, especially when you don't take medication

Unfortunately it's true, people can't control their thoughts or activities for a longer time.

That's so sad. Do you suffer from any mental illness?
1_Wizard
I myself don't but I've struggled with depression in the past. Most of the mental disorders require drug treatment and diagnosis.

Yes I agree. There is nothing wrong with asking for help at all.

I agree, especially that some mental disorders can be persistent, relapsing or remitting, only some are only a single episode. So it's important to make sure it's not going to come back.

Yes of course. Hopefully there will be a cure soon so people won't have to deal with it anymore

I hope so too, mental health also includes one's ability to enjoy life. It's important to have a  balance between life activities and psychological resilience for mental health.
