Hi, There are multiple treatment options for OCD. Today many medications are available which have minimal side effects like fluoxetine, sertraline, etc. If given appropriately, these medications are very safe and generally are well tolerated. In addition, there is also option of cognitive behavior therapy, which is a treatment that can be started with medications or without if the OCD is not very severe. Such therapy is need your wife to visit the therapist at regular intervals (once to twice a week) for about an hourly session. Hope the information was useful. Best wishes.
