Suggest Treatment For Obsessive Impulsive Behavior

I have self diagnosed myself with obsessive-impulsive behavior. I feel the need to constantly act on my impulses and enjoy life to the fullest sometimes at the detriment to my health, finances or relationships. Is this a known mental disorder? I couldn't find any research on this topic.

Also my son wants to know why farts are smelly.

In all seriousness. thank you for your time and thought in this matter(s).

Hello, self diagnosing diseases n disorders is not at all suggested for any person even the doctor himself. Bcoz if doctors do the same they diagnose themselves wid lot of syndromes. For us our symptoms might be big but not to name it as a disease or disorder. So please consult a psychiatrist and take proper advice. Good luck.

And coming to your son's question, farts are made up of gases released from digestion of food and by microbes of intestine. They are waste by products formed from fermentation and other processes. So they are malodourus.
