[sallyeb11Participant]

My husband was fortunate to get a diagnosis of OCD by qualified professiona. But the doctor says that even thought he has twisted intrusive thought that ae won’t act them out. I don’t be;ieve it based on his behaviour and are really worried. Do you suggest he and me talks to his doctor again? Or just leave it and hope?
