People who are suffering from mental and emotional disturbances sometimes cannot grasp the severity of their situation so you need to help your partner understand what is going on.
No, you should not bagger your partner with a lot of information at once. Instead of bombarding your partner with information about anxiety and OCD, you should gradually introduce him or her to this disorder by casually talking about signs and symptoms of the disorder. Engage your partner in light discussions about the topic at first and see how he or she reacts to it. If your partner is open to discussions about anxiety and OCD, try to encourage your partner to attend seminars and support group meetings for people who are suffering from this type of disorder.
