I really think you should see a PSYCHOLOGIST for therapy, especially before the OCD gets bad.
Anxiety also leads to depression, and PTSD is a pretty severe anxiety disorder. Medication usually doesn't cut it.
Are you seeing a psychologist for therapy, or just a psychiatrist for medication management?
