What is the possible treatment for compulsive eating disorder?
Counseling is the best course of action for any disorder. If the disease or disorder is compulsive, please seek help from a psychiatric doctor. This disorder requires that you find a healthy self body image. Although the person will live with this disorder for life, they will be able to find a happy medium.
Did the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder hurt people?
The answer depends on what you mean by "hurt." If you mean can someone with OCD harm another person in a violent manner, the answer is probably not, but possibly depending on the situation and if the person has any other co-morbid psychological disorders such as schizophrenia, attachment disorder or antisocial personality disorder.People with OCD may present with obsessions regarding germs, numbers, or collecting objects or other elements regarding controlling and ordering the chaotic aspects of life. But just because a person exhibits some of these traits does not necessarily mean they have OCD. They may have Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder or may have an Autism Spectrum Disorder or may even have garden variety Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The only person that can objectively diagnose OCD is a doctor, preferably a Psychiatrist. If the person is a child, it is critical that the doctor specializes in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.Living with a person with OCD can be difficult, especially if he or she refuses any form of treatment and refuses to alter their behavior to make cohabitation more manageable. Behavioral therapy such as exposure and response prevention and/or medication such as SSRIs can make life more manageable, both for people with OCD and those who live with them.

What is a Halitiphobist?
A halitiphobist is someone suffering from halitophobia. Halitophobia is basically a fear or phobia of having bad breath. Haltophobist will chew gum or eat mints habitually and excessively compared to someone without the phobia. Haltophobia is usually found in people obsessed with their appearance and/or trying to maintain a certain social status. People obsessed with trying to live a certain and/or superficial way of life are much more likely to obtain phobias such as this. Halitophobia is also referred to as delusional halitosis and is usually related to some type of obsessive compulsive disorder.
How do you live with a person who has antisocial personality disorder?
An old-fashioned name for antisocial personality disorder is psychopath. These are damaged people, and most of the damage was probably done during their childhoods. A person with antisocial personality disorder was most likely neglected or abused as a child. But the abuse and neglect doesn't have to be severe; even benign neglect can cause a person to develop this illness. Living with other people isn't easy. Whether they're a college dorm-mate, a roommate, a parent, a lover or a spouse, sharing daily living space with other human beings requires a lot of compromising and setting of rules in order. But the problem with antisocial disorder is that there are no specific medications for that condition. That means that only some sort of the psycho therapy, perhaps a group one might help. But of course, he has to have the will and desire for that. A family is like an orange: each segment is unique, but connected to make a whole. When member suffers, the entire family suffers. When a loved one in your family is suffering from one of the personality disorders, the entire family is under stress.There are many excellent therapists, counselors, and medical practitioners who specialize in treating personality disorders, but very often the caregivers are overlooked. Just as Mom and Dad can be taken for granted by the children, they can also be assumed to be doing just fine in such a stressful environment. It doesn't matter much what the personality disorder is when it concerns the well-being of the family. It could be borderline personality disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, or manic depression. The caregivers need to be taken care of as well!
Do people who have Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder have to be watched very closely as they may exhibit signs of being abusers?
Not really. We all have a trace of OCD, and we do it without thinking. One may take the same route to work over and over even though it could be the longer way there, but, it's a habit. I am the type of person that unless I have checked to be sure all windows and doors are locked (thank heavens I live in a small home) I can't go to sleep. So, what's the big deal? Not one darn thing! Abusers are abusers and OCD really has nothing to do with it unless the person was an abuser in the first place. Although OCD people can get on other's nerves at times, something about that other person can get on their nerves too. None of us are perfect. Happy New Year Marcy
How do you get your ex Girlfriend to talk to you AFTER she called you Obsessive?
Stop being obsessive. That means stop getting her to talk to you. Apologize and leave it at that. If she doesn't want to talk to you, live with it. She's an EX-girlfriend for a reason. The more you try to get her to talk to you, the more obsessive you really are. Then maybe she'll see you've stopped being obsessive and will talk to you on her own. Maybe.
