OCD increases in the world. Mental trouble is no way inferior to physical problem. Dengue and Chikungunya added the intensity.

This is the season for Dengue and Chikungunya. These two are very synonymous in primary stage. Fever, weakness, and muscle pain are the primary symptoms. Headache, joint swelling and rashes are also common. In final stage Chikungunya turns into sever muscle pain and makes the difference with Dengue. Many patients often suffer from vomiting and asphyxia. Aedes mosquitoes are the carrier of viruses for Dengue and Chikungunya.Dengue was reported first in Bangladesh in 2000. Later discovered by the experts that a virus called DENV causes Dengue and it is carried by Aedes. Many people suffered form Dengue and many of them died also. By this time, details have been discovered through worldwide research. Bangladesh has earned the credence to fight against Dengue. Over the time, casualty has been restrained within minimum because of the initiatives, preparations and awareness campaign by the authority and response of the people. An extension of enigma was added when another viral disease of synonymous nature was reported in 2008. It is none but Chikungunya, more dangerous than Dengue. It was found in the worldwide research that Aedes is the carrier for CHIKV virus which causes Chikungunya. Its outbreak in 2017 was rampant and made the people aware like of Dengue.

Aedes

Dengue and Chikungunya though hazardous diseases are easier to control than the present epidemic, COVID 19. Few factors are important to know if any disease is to be controlled. For the formers, we know needful information about viruses. So we know how to protect us from Dengue and Chikungunya. Few factors are in favor to prevent these diseases. Firstly these are season-based diseases. Everyone by this time know when and how these two spread. From our simple knowledge we know these viruses need Aedes to infect people. So virus without Aedes is worthless and Aedes without these viruses can not be a concern for health hazard. We also know how Aedes grow up. Cleanliness drive is taken in proper time by the government for fighting against the identified and visible enemy. People also know that there is no particular treatment for these diseases. So people become careful before the season of Dengue and Chikungunya start.

With the pandemic, COVID 19, the atmosphere becomes very critical in this year. Dengue and Chikungunya have got significant importance as primary condition of COVID 19 resembles partially with those two. Naturally a patient infected with any of the two may consider him a patient of COVID 19. This presumption might lead a patient to dismay and mental break down. Situation does not permit to go to hospital or visit to a doctor for mere suspicion.  But reality is opposite as a patient infected by Dengue or Chikungunya can not be restrained if he considers him a probable patient of COVID 19. Thus mere suspicion may lead anyone to be infected by corona virus.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) has been increased everywhere in the world. Excessive precautions always lead to OCD. Now everyone is extra alert. None visits even family members if resides apart. None allows anyone inside home. None goes outside if there is no dire need. Anything brought in for family essential is kept outside for hours together to be disinfected. If situation demands to go outside, everyone puts on hand gloves, mask and spectacles. Washing hands many times a day, taking shower more than once and washing clothes for minor reasons are now normal phenomena. Being in this circumstances many people have developed OCD. So any type of fever, be it Dengue, Chikungunya or Flu, might upset a person in the atmosphere of OCD. He will suffer from tremendous mental troubles if he is not anyway taken to a doctor or hospital when he considers him a probable patient of corona virus.

Unlike previous years Dengue, Chikungunya and Flu are within limit in this year. This is a blessing but we might be alert and clean our surrounding so that Aedes can not make abodes. We are to be mentally strong and aware of the effects of OCD. We must maintain health code to fight against COVID 19, the invisible enemy, but apply our common sense about seasonal diseases.  We must be alert but be aware that mental trouble is no way inferior to a physical problem. These will help us to remain safe and in mental peace.
