HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, you need proper dose of antidepressant. OCD and anxiety usually happens due to serotonin imbalance and that would improve with antidepressant like paroxetine with low dose benzodiazepine. You can carry therapy in form of cognitive behavioral therapy with relaxation exercise for additional benefit.
