Hi, my brother is 36 years old and he is suffering from OCD for several years. He is obsessed with cleaning and he is constantly doing something in the house. Sometimes I dont know how to behave when I see him cleaning so I would like to hear if someone had similar experience.

Hi, I also had member in my family who had OCD disorder. My uncle was obsessed with putting things on their space. Sometimes it was funny but also sometimes it may be pretty hard to explain that there is no need to do such things. It would be the best to accept it as usual thing and dont pay attention to it.
