Well description you provided doesn't show any OCD symptoms however if you really have OCD it may cause difficulty in concentration. If your psychiatrist made diagnosis as OCD then you should stick to his treatment. medication in OCD take 6-8 weeks to start showing effects so you have to wait and take treatment as prescribed. If you doesn't get any effects then reconsider the diagnosis. All the best
