Dear lybrate-user, OCD is a treatable disorder. You need not have to suffer for 4 years spoiling your studies. Please consult a psychiatrist. She/he will diagnose whether you are suffering from OCD or with other illness having OCD symptoms. She/he will assess you medically also. Later few tablets of SSRI or Clomipramine will be prescribed to you at tolerable level of dose. It may be continued for many months even for 2 years or so. If necessary, ERP (Exposure and response prevention) therapy will be added. ERP also needs repeated sessions. Please consult a psychiatrist and take treatment.
