These thought patterns are commonly associated with conditions such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Psychiatric treatment aims to address the underlying causes of these thought patterns and help patients regain control over their mental state.

The impact of ADHD on relationships: Building stronger connections

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can significantly impact relationships, particularly when one partner is affected by the condition.
