A psychiatrist is not going to cut it. 5-15 minutes of "how r u feeling on the medication" is not going to cut it and you already know that. Research some therapies that are directed towards OCD and find a therapist in your area that has a background in that or has counseled many people with OCD. Try them out and see for yourself how you feel. Throwing a question out to the Internet--especially the zF--isn't going to make your thoughts move towards a more proactive, healthy life. I've also found that the most profound, "zenful," things in life have not looked anything like "zen(tm)." It is/was all just real life. Make it real for your self.
