Can A Person Have OCD And Be A Slob?
Can a person have ocd and be a slob? I have extreme problems with finishing projects: painting rooms, cleaning rooms, finishing almost every task I start. I want my house to be neat and orderly, but I can't seem to get there. Is there help for someone like me, or do you need more information?

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
In your case, you would suggest either fluvoxamine or clomipramine. That would help you to control obsessive thoughts and you would able to concentrate on your work. With medication, you also need behavioral therapy in form of relaxation exercise or thoughts stoppage technique. You would improve with both medication and therapy, but it need time.
Thanks
