Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.

I have gone through the details provided in query and understand your concerns.

Although the prescribed medication is good for depression but there is no evidence of its effectiveness in ocd. The most effective treatment for ocd includes ssri group of medications which includes fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine and escitalpram. These medicines are also effective in depresion, anxiety and SAD. I think you need to discuss these alternative medicine for your wife with treating doctor. It sldo need tp be emphasized thst antidepressants tske at least teo to four weeks to have significant effect. If time lapsed after starting treatment os less than that it is advisable to wait for few more days.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
