Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Severe OCD: Your living conditions are a consideration but you need treatment to deal w/your extreme OCD. Please search out a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist who specializes in OCD. Medication may be helpful but you also need psychotherapy. There are specific treatments for OCD, one of which is called "Response Prevention." Peace and good health.
