great to hear that my son suffers from ocd as does my wife my sister is a retired psychiatric rn who worked for  42 years in home health agencies  she said you really can not reason with people who have ocd because everything is black and white with no grey areas at all ssris can help take the edge off but does not cure it sons problem is on making decisions and dirt and my wifes is on dirt and cleanliness he is 38 and we have been married for 43 years  counseling helps some people as in your case and it depends on how committed you are to dealing with it your success and your degree of ocd because some cases are mild to moderate and some severe as in my sons case and moderate in my wifes case
