Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, he is a case of treatment resistant OCD and in treatment resistant OCD, he needs combination of both drugs and psychotherapy. In newer therapy, he could try rTMS. If he has not tried clomipramine, you can also try it. It is very effective medicine in OCD. About psychiatrist in Kolkota, i can not help you. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
