My DH has had contamination OCD for years and the treatment has never really worked, he had has one course of CBT in the past and he also takes medication but nothing has really seemed to help very much.
DH is progressivly getting worse, he agrees he is getting worse but as he hates talking about the OCD he wont speak to our GP and just carries on with the same medication.
I love DH and try to support him with his treatment but I am at the end of my tether with all this and really worried how bad he will be in another few years if the OCD keeps getting worse. I don't want to leave him but I am starting to think that for the sake of myself and our young daughter if things don't improve soon I may have to as the OCD is starting to take over all our lives.
How do I deal with this? Will our GP speak to me about my DH's medication and treatment? I don't know where to turn but we need some help before things get any worse.
