In these happy days, there are people who have all the reasons for material and moral happiness, but despite this they live in a special hell made by their brains called obsessive-compulsive disorder, and whatever its subject is, it turns the life of its owner into a self-hell and deprives him of all activities of normal and happy life such as meeting with people, and makes him permanently busy By repeating the things that his obsessiveness urges him to do, and no matter how rational and educated he is, he finds himself stuck in the closed loop of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and more than one Nobel Prize-winning scientist in complex fields of science died because of his obsessive-compulsive disorder that made him stop abstaining from food and drink due to his obsession that it was polluted or poisoned. When the brain forms the neural network of obsessive-compulsive patterns, it will repeat it automatically without the will of its owner, and therefore it is one of the worst things that a person can suffer from, because in every calamity the human brain works in his favor to get him out of the calamity except in the case of obsessive-compulsive disorder, where the brain works against its owner, and there are drugs Medical treatments that can help by working on brain chemistry, but they often do not cure obsessive-compulsive disorder, but only reduce its severity. The usual obsessive automatic act refrains from any reaction and tolerates the excessive tension that he will feel as a result, and if he feels that he is unable to bear it alone, he can do exposure exercises in the presence of the attending physician or a supportive member of the family, and with getting used to not making the obsessive reaction, the change will change. The neurological map of the brain that used to cause obsessive-compulsive urgency, and the sense of obsessive-compulsive urgency gradually disappears. It is also helpful in intellectual understanding of the reasons that led to the development of the obsessive-compulsive pattern; The obsession often begins in the aftermath of suffering from severe psychological trauma that led to an excessive reaction with the will to protect and prevent, and that the person’s awareness of that can realize that the subject of his obsession does not represent that terrifying danger that he feels it represents. Who has become the subject of his obsession, and tries to get himself out of a box whose life revolves around his obsession, even if he goes out to public places or volunteers so that he does not remain alone with his obsession and his usual financial situation that reminds him of his obsession at home, and tries to occupy himself and his mind permanently by planning things to do because as long as his brain is not Preoccupied with something else, he will regurgitate the obsessive-compulsive disorder, and it may be helpful to undergo hypnotherapy treatment with a specialized psychiatrist, and it is important for the person to reduce his tension as much as possible because tension increases the severity of the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and therefore those around him should not put pressure on him in any way that increases The person is nervous and religious, and if he becomes obsessive about religion and its laws, such as purity and the like, then in Shari’a he must prevail over certainty, and mere doubt is not taken into account. To continue defending it without searching for an answer to it, because the answer to it removes it as an obsession, and the answers are often found in the books of believing Western scholars because their arguments have developed and deepened to keep pace with the arguments of the other atheist party because of intellectual freedom, and every type of obsession has an intellectual subject, such as existential and philosophical questions, and its treatment is by finding answers to it.
