My name is Mostafa, and I have, OCD, Anxiety, Depression and drug abuse from Age 15 till know I'm 36.
I'm happy to see, you understand what's the darkness of OCD in the life, and need to find a way to treatment this bad disease . Actually I had all this problems until now I'm 36 and I hope just one day in future scientists will find a way to treatment this problem. 🙏🙏
