A college student is brought to the student health center at the urging of his roommate. He has been missing class because he needs to
check the room lock many times before he can leave. Once he starts to ride his bicycle to class, he frequently returns several times to lock the
door. He repeats this ritual every morning and often when he leaves the house. He misses his appointments and his academic performance
suffers. His hands are chafed.

Which of the following is the most appropriate pharmacotherapy for this patient?
/ A. CIozapine
/ B. Desipramine
/ C. FIuoxetine
/ D. Haloperidol
