He suffered from what we thought was mild OCD when younger – with some of the classic behaviour symptoms although they did not affect his daily life.  He believes that this has woven itself into the addiction – so that the ‘compulsion’ part of the OCD is now gambling rather than checking the taps are not running etc. If so, surely he would need treatment for the OCD before/in conjuction with treatment for the addiction?  Has anyone come across this before?
