Anxiety Disorder
Q. I have to check the gas valve dozens of times before I can leave the house (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder).
A.
This is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), a condition where individuals experience unbearable anxiety if they don't perform actions, even though they themselves recognize these actions as unnecessary. It involves a functional abnormality of the brain's frontal lobe. Traditional Korean herbal medicine (Hanbang) is used to regulate brain impulsivity, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) training is necessary to help tolerate anxiety.
