[quote=Anonymous]Op, my DC diagnosed with OCD at age 8, so younger. They have been in therapy 3 years. Diagnosed with anxiety and ADHD at age 6. DC now a tween. OCD does respond to treatment - for DC we also had to ge the meds right for both the ADHD and OCD/anxiety. Therapy alone did not work, even after 2 years with an amazing therapist who specializes in OCD — DC would just spiral in their OCD thoughts all day at school (holding it together but not learning) and then come home and just fall apart. DC recently changed ADHD meds and it had a huge impact on OCD thoughts - they are doing very very well right now - while thoughts and anxieties have not gone away, they are still able to have a “normal” life (they were not able to do many regular daily activities before therapy and meds). Please try to see if you can get your DC to be open to meds, and find a therapist who specializes in OCD. Truly wishing you h th e best, and know it can get better than it is right now .[/quote]
