Dear lybrate-user, If OCD is serious, it is better both drugs and therapy is combined. Fear is one of the symptoms of OCD. Not only for medicines but also for many other things. She is young and it is not possible always someone to supervise her. Not only she may have doubt, sh may have the fear of doing things wrong. Let her start therapy with exposure and response prevention. Later during therapy, she will be convinced of medicines, if necessary.
