Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

You son have obsessive compulsive disorder and in that case, he needs anti-obsessional drug like fluoxetine or fluvoxamine. It would help to control the repetitive thoughts and compulsive behavior. Better to consult his psychiatrist to change the drugs and also take help of psychologist for behavioral therapy. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
