Hello,
The best management for Obsessive Compulsive disorder is a combination of medication with psychotherapy (exposure and response prevention/ cognitive behaviour therapy).
It is rather difficult to comment who is "the best' psychiatrist.
But it is recommended that you please seek a consultation with a psychiatrist for comprehensive assessment and further management...
Hope this helps you. Best wishes for your health and future.
