When making a prognosis of OCD it is best to look at these 3 things: if the symptoms are mild or extreme, if the symptoms go away for any period of time and how well the person with the symptoms function. This disorder is long term which can come with some side effects later for example skin breakdown with handwashing too frequently.
-The 1st medicine a doctor will prescribe would be a type of antidepressant. Such as Citalopram, Fluoxetine, Paroxetine or Sertraline.
-In case of the antidepressant not working doctors can prescribe an antidepressant that has been around longer (Clomipramine) and is used to treat the symptoms of OCD. It also has side effects though such as difficulty starting urination, drop in blood pressure while coming up from a sitted position, dry mouth and sleepiness. In other cases doctors can prescribe antidepressants and Clomipramine together.
The first thing you should do would be to go to a psychiatric to determine your mental state and so they can give you a questionnaire to answer about how you feel during your everyday life. It is also a good idea to have a physical exam to rule out any physical symptoms.

-obsessions or compulsions that can affect everyday life

-Most people who develop OCD show symptoms are age 30.
-There are no theories about the cause of OCD but none have yet to be completely proven.
-Some have said it could be linked with head injuries and infections and others say it might have some relationship with tics (mental disorder) that 20% of people with OCD have.
OCD can develop between the ages 3-40 and it does not depend on your ethnic race because it can happen to anyone. Researchers have found that males can develop it slightly sooner in life than females.
