Some students can experience symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). It's advisable to consult a GP in the first instance, to get a diagnosis and information about appropriate treatment.
Also, let your personal tutor or course leader know if you're having difficulties affecting your studies – they are there to help, and can offer useful advice and support.
You can learn skills to help you manage some of the factors contributing to OCD, and there is a lot of other support available.
