[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi op, here is an article on when OCD can trigger intrusive suicidal thoughts. It could be depression based on how you describe it, but it is worth making certain whether it isn’t this especially given your son’s age. The reason it is especially important is treatment for OCD is VERY specific and not every therapist is trained in it. OCD must, must be treated with Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP). If your therapist isn’t trained in it it doesn’t mean anything negative about them, most aren’t it is a very specific therapy that usually a therapist kind of “specializes” in OCD. So if you determine if may be OCD, you’ll want to connect with a place that specializes in it. And the good news is telehealrh opens so many doors! You will be able to find a place I think via that route if you need it.

The other good news is OCD is very treatable! So if it is that it’s good news. And in either case medication can be very helpful if needed! Highly recommend considering when you’re ready. [/quote]
OP here, thank you so much for this information.  OCD didn't cross my mind but it does make sense and something we will hopefully find out more through this testing process in June. [/quote]
