Thanks for writing to us.
OCD is a psychiatric problem associated with excessive anxiety. It is a type of anxiety that happens when there is a problem with the way the brain deals with normal worrying and doubts. People with OCD usually worry a lot.
Cognitive and behavioural therapies show good response in such cases which you can have in consultation with your psychiatrist.
Meanwhile make her practice relaxation techniques like meditation, yoga, XXXXXXX breathing, etc.
The compulsive stealing tendency which your mother is having is called as kleptomania. Along with the behavioural therapy, many drugs like fluvoxamine, paroxetine, etc will help her. You can choose the best drug suitable for her in consultation with her psychiatrist.
