There are many ways to fix a compulsion disorder both with medication and without. For more information about fixing a compulsive disorder seek guidance from a mental health professional, many are available as clinics that one can visit for a minimal charge. They will help you break the compulsions via behavioral modification. The medication class commonly used to treat compulsive disorders (mainly obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD) are the SSRIs or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. It would be in your best interest to seek one-on-one guidance with a healthcare professional, be it a physician/psychiatrist or if you have medication related questions, a pharmacist.
