My dear friend, ocd is indeed a very difficult disease but it is treatable with medicines and behaviour therapy. Medicines help only upto 20 30 percent but behaviour therapy helps to control the problems.
For these treatment you need to visit any mental institution like pgi chandigarh or nimhans bangalore. His problem will take time but he will be managable once treatment starts properly.
