Struggling with OCD or Shaitan's whispers? Need some advice.

Salam, everyone. I think I've been dealing with OCD for a long time now, like since I was little. It's been really tough and painful, but it's clearly OCD. Anyway, I talked to my parents about how it's affecting my life, and they keep insisting it's just waswas from Shaytan. I've tried explaining to them that this isn't about Shaytan-I had these issues even as a kid, way before I understood right from wrong. But they're not convinced. They said if I get closer to Allah and improve my iman, and I still have those intrusive, compulsive thoughts, then they'll let me see a professional. Is that the right approach? I feel like my concerns aren't really being heard. JazakAllah khair for any input.
