Mr. Tran was recently placed on medical leave due to his intense need to repeatedly check that his doors and windows are locked, which can take hours each evening. Your consultant has diagnosed obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) after an initial assessment. He has returned to clinic today to discuss the diagnosis and learn about potential treatment options.
