Dad of an OCD sufferer

[Nick7900Participant]

Hello I’m a dad of an OCD sufferer. My son is living with me and I don’t have a clue how to help. I read some websites about OCD and now I’m really worried that he seems to have got worse. I cant get him to the GP to find out how to get professional help. Any advice?

Just wondering, why can’t you get him to the GP? Is he refusing to go?
