What Causes Severe OCD Along With Confusion?
Our father is 74 we want to know when it is appropriate to have him see a dr. He has very obsessive behavior
All his "stuff" has to be where it belongs, can't socialize after dinner til dishes are done, etc
When we talk to him its obvious he is not listening, as he speaks about another subject as soon as we stop talking to him. He talks over you, doesn't let you finish, you can see he isn't listening in a conversation as he is thinking of next thing HE wants to say. He is recovering from acl surgery and we know he isn't doing his physical therapy at home, he tells little lies when asked.....

HI
Well come to HCM
Thank for choosing HCM, as matter of fact it is not the kind of illness but it seems to be social problem it is kind of miss tuning you people might be having, looking to his age he might be in need of some moral support, and it can only be provided by you only but with the condition that you all need to be very much patience listen him properly no matter what he says relevant or not, agree with him for the time being, assured him that you all are with him for best support, else in my opinion it is not the medical issue hope this information helps.
