Ideas to help my wife - OCD / Alcohol
I am not sure how to begin, so how about "hello everyone".
My wife is very ill and I am running out of ideas to help, so any thoughts or suggestions are welcome!
The underlying problem is OCD, dont want to go into the details, but she spends a lot of time in the bathroom. She is anxious every waking moment. We have two wonderful children but as time goes by she is less and less capable to be part of the family.
She has prescribed meds but these are proving ineffective and alcohol seems to be the only thing that gives her relief. Over the past year this has escalated from evenings only to all day starting in the morning. She has tried rehab several times now, and this time has managed less than a week.....we are back to square one again and she is very depressed.
The docs all say she needs to stop drinking first and then they can work on the OCD and anxiety but she cant cope long enough to move to the second stage.
Any ideas? Any doctors or clinics that we should look into? (e.g. UK based)
Thanks for taking the time to read this far.
