Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello, Welcome to Health Care Magic

Repeated persistent thoughts may occur due to severe anxiety due to obsessive compulsive disorder. Obsessions are dominating persistent thoughts or ideas that cause significant distress to individual. Excessive thoughts and ideas cause poor concentration and individual fails to focus on things which result in memory problems.

As per my opinion consult a Psychiatrist for expert opinion. OCD can be treated with combination of Behavior therapy and medicines. SSRIs medicines like Fluoxetine, Paroxetine are used in high doses for treatment.

Advise him to exercise daily and to practice yoga. This will help in relaxation
.

Thanks, hope this helps you
