Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns for your son.

He is suffering from OCD since 4 years.

The first line treatment for OCD is anti-obsessional drugs like fluoxetine or paroxetine. These are very effective drugs but must be taken under psychiatrist's supervision.

Hope this helps.
