If you’re suffering from this condition, you’ll be looking for the type of treatment that addresses your specific symptoms. You may be reluctant to describe your symptoms to a professional for fear of being judged, misunderstood or mislabelled. In some cases, your obsessions may even lead you to worry about criminal consequences, or in some cases child custody issues.
