Hello Mr. Radheshyam,Please mention the treatment history and response to treatment. Also what was the course of her illness during last 16yrs.?OCD is a chronic disabling disorder and complete remission may or may not be seen that too only with medications.The choice of drug at present will depend on the earlier response and severity of symptoms.Thanks
