HIThanks for using healthcare magicOCD is a chronic anxiety disorder and it takes time to get improved. If he does not get sufficient improvement with medications, then you can try clomipramine or fluvoxamine in his case. These both drugs are very effective in treatment and could help in decreasing symptoms. Carry on with psychotherapy in form of behavioral therapy. That would give additional benefit. In case, you need further help, you can ask.Thanks
