OK im am 23yo and have had clinical depression for about 10years, recently i got extremely physically ill, during this time i was suffering from extreme anxiety, my first panic attack. I felt like I was losing my mind and going crazy. I had gotten better physically since then, but i seem to be having symptoms of OCD since. I constantly have unwanted thoughts or images in my mind, mostly about harming someone close to me or whom I love. I am not a violent person and could not see myself acting on these unwanted thoughts and i know i wont, but nontheless the thoughts drive me crazy. I do have the compulsion part however, no rituals or anything. I talked to my doctor and he gave me lexapro which helped with the depression and anxiety, but only slightly helped the unwanted thoughts. What do i do? does anyone else have just the "o" part of ocd? please help
