Hello,
Living with OCD can be exhausting and scary both for the person and the family. However, it doesn't remain so. There are effective treatments available for OCD that make your quality of life tremendously better.
Next Steps
Are you on any medications or have taken therapy? I would suggest you to visit a Psychiatrist, Psychologist and Couple Counselor/ Family Counselor to work on your wellbeing.
Health Tips
Sometimes excessive awareness and knowledge is also harmful to an individual. Try and refrain from searching for information on internet. Similarly, please don't take any medication or remedy without explicit guidance of a trained medical professional.
All the Best!

Hello,
OCD is a treatable condition, even if it has been present for many years. Many people experience significant relief with the right combination of treatment- typically a mix of medication (such as SSRIs at adequate doses) and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), especially Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). It’s important to work with a psychiatrist and a therapist experienced in OCD management. With consistent treatment and support, you can regain control and improve your quality of life.
Next Steps
a. Book an appointment with a psychiatrist for medication evaluation.
b. Begin CBT with a therapist trained in ERP.
c. Keep a symptom diary to track triggers and progress.
d. Seek support groups (online or in-person) for people with OCD.
Health Tips
1. Avoid self-medicating or abruptly stopping medicines without medical advice.
2. Progress may take time- patience and consistency are key.
3. OCD symptoms can flare with stress, so stress management techniques (mindfulness, relaxation exercises) are helpful alongside formal therapy.

Hey
I understand how exhausting it can be to live with OCD for so many years. Please know that OCD is a treatable condition, even if it has been present for a long time. Many people experience significant relief with the right combination of medication (such as SSRIs) and therapy—particularly Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
OCD often becomes more manageable when treatment is tailored to your specific themes and patterns of compulsions. It’s important to consult a psychiatrist in person so we can assess your symptoms in detail, rule out other conditions, and start you on the right treatment plan.
With consistent therapy, proper medication, and support, you can regain control over your life and reduce the fear and compulsions. Please don’t lose hope—help is available, and recovery is possible.
