7 year old : OCD behavior with tantrums

Question

Our daughter (3rd child, baby) is exhibiting OCD type behavior. She is a type A personality and has always been neat and tidy. In the last few weeks, her personality and behavior has changed. She is now telling us about bad or inappropriate thoughts she has and reporting to us on everything that she has touched or won't touch because it might be dirty or has germs. Coinciding w/ these changes, she is now having screaming tantrums when something happens or sets her off. We went to a child psychologist who said to put her in "play" therapy and she may need medication. Any other options/alternatives?
