Focus should be placed on treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), because even if the questioner is told that his wife has not been divorced, the obsessions will return in another form. It can be treated by referring to No. 31562, titled "Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Its Nature and Treatment." There is no objection to consulting a psychiatrist to take appropriate medications.
