Psychiatrist,  's  Response
OCD is one of the common disorder in psychiatric disorders. Normally out of 100 patients 40 is cured and never had disorder again.40 will have to take medicines for long but disorder is under control and live life noraml. 20% generally have sever to resistant OCD.
In treatment aspect two issues are main. Regular without brake and in sufficient dosed medicines to be taken like SSRIs(fluoxetine, sertaline etc). And second thing behavior therapy which includes many types like exposure and prevention, flooding, cognitive behavior therapy. Consult another doctor with your old treatment records. IF you interested to know further ask me directly as my dissertation has been in OCD and I have seen lots of patients.Please remember continuous treatment and doctor consultation must in OCD.
