Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The treatment of obsessive compulsivebehavior and depression is often accomplished with use of medications and psychotherapy. As you might be aware no two patients are similar and often complete assessment is required before starting the treatment.


However I feel that she suffers with acute stress reaction after the break up with her ex boy friend. Time is the one factor which can help in acute stress reaction but having supportive attitude toward her can help her early in compare to normal healing process after emotional pain.

In case she remains anxious visiting a counsellor is recommended.


Hope I have answered your query.
