Q.) How do I help someone to get help for ocd?

A.) All you need is exactly how you found me. What I would do is not spend so much time looking for help, but actually more time facing the fears that are driving their rituals head on. Help them pick their toughest ritual and this week see how long they can go without performing the ritual before they give in. Help them set a record and coach them. This will start to show them that it's possible to decide not to do the ritual for a while and it will start to show them that they do indeed have control over it. These baby steps work better.
