Hello thanks for choosing HCM for your health related queries
I can understand your concern. OCD is a type of anxiety disorder so in most cases of OCD they have associated severe anxiety. In more than 50% of cases of OCD depression is found to be a co-morbid disorder. You have persistent depressive, anxiety symptoms and these are causing significant effect to your social and personal life. I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for proper treatment. Medicines and psychotherapy both are used in treatment. Behaviour therapy is commonly used treatment in OCD and anxiety. Medicines like Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline etc are used commonly used in treatment. Visit your psychiatrist for detailed help.
Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
