Hello Kindly do a self rating test of OCD like YBOCS which you can easily find online. But its only a screening test and a confirm diagnosis can only be made after a detailed evaluation by a psychiatrist. Kindly consult a psychiatrist in person for detailed evaluation and treatment. Treatment is possible and both medicines and psychotherapy are available as treatment options.
