[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -- thanks for your responses and encouragement.  DS is planning to stick with current therapist and psychiatrist via telemedicine.  I'd appreciate thoughts on this from any posters who have tried it.  Also, if you have thoughts on how DH and I can help keep lines of communication open and positive, that would be helpful.  Thank you.       [/quote]

Are you sure he is able to do that? During the first year of the pandemic states waived licensing requirements so clients could do telemedicine but those waivers no longer exist. So if his providers are not licensed in the state where he is moving he will not be able to see them. Thus, he should try to find a new team right away. My dd’s first college was a bad fit and her ocd spiraled out of control first semester of sophomore year. Her therapist was fortunately licensed in her college’s state which was adjacent to our home state. For second semester, she transferred to a school in our home state. Her therapist thought she might need an IOP so she took only 3 classes. Between that and a better housing situation, she flourished (and did not need the IOP). She still struggles with OCD thoughts (and likely always will) but has the tools to deal with them. Will she have setbacks in the future? I’m sure she will bc it is the nature of the disease but hopefully it won’t get as bad as it was in the beginning. Best of luck to your son. [/quote]
