Suggest Remedy To Control OCD And Anger

My boyfriend suffers from severe OCD however he has learned to control it for the most point. However, he becomes angry and very violent at times. It's like he snaps and has a temper tantrum anywhere from 10 minutes to 24 hours. He knows he needs help. Please tell me there is a medicine that can control the OCD and the anger.
