[quote=Anonymous]My brother -- now 43 -- has had OCD officially diagnosed for years now. His life is at a standstill. He could never successfully hold a job or complete education. It is a shame because he is not a stupid person. But, being behind in many things, like learning how to function properly in a working environment (dealing with people, interactions, etc), he is now like a hobbit, avoids going to crowded stores, avoids wanting to deal with things like customer relations. Well, it's sad, to put it mildly. Mainly a heartache for my mother, who has to support everything for him financially, and not to mention the constantly worrying about him. I'm located far from them, so I can't help directly, but I try as I can with support on topics, researching things they may need, etc. Anyway, it is good to read that others with OCD can still have successes in their lives. I would like to hope somehow my brother can improve. He is on some medication, and is seeing a 'life therapist' and occasional psychiatrist appointment, but everything takes time before there can be improvement.[/quote]
