Anyone can resort: to superstitious behavior under stress, which may be what you are doing. A mental health professional can take a history and possibly make a diagnosis, perhaps anxiety or something else. Peace and good health.

Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy for him and for yourself? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as OCD, anxiety or depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.
