I was officially diagnosed with OCD at age 41. It helped a lot to be officially diagnosed because I was able to get the treatment I needed. I had been diagnosed with panic disorder years ago. Paxil worked great with the panic disorder but did nothing for the OCD. Zoloft has helped greatly. I, also, get counseling. I have to work on it. I, also, found out when I went to the doctor I had other things wrong with me that I was chalking up to the panic disorder. I definitely recommend getting diagnosed.
