Help!!! someone please help my brother!?!


Question:

Help!!! someone please help my brother!?

i've got a brother and he's now 17 years old. he's got some problem like he always close the tap very tight and worry about those small small things for the whole day. he will ask you the same question for more than 10 times a day and sometimes having difficulties to fall asleep. we sent him to see a clinical psychologist at the general hospital and the doctor said he's been diagnosed with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and always ask him to get the pills and go home without providing any therapy or treatment. anyone know any good counselor in Malaysia?

one more thing....it's been almost a year that the doctor ask him to take medicine and never do anything about it. i've tried to asked the doctor to refer him to a counselor in the hospital but she refused to do so.


Answers:

OCD is very hard to control via therapy alone. He should get the medication and then start behavior modification therapy. He may never be able to stop the medication however.
