[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would think the thought the 21 year old was a spoiled little A-hole who needs to get on with life. He will probably have an earful for the mother as to how the family enabled this.[/quote]

What made you come to that conclusion?[/quote]

Yes. NP here. I’ve also seen a psych in the past.

I’ll bet you anything the doc thought that the mother/family/household was much of the problem. That’s why he’s trying to get patient away from family.

I also see a psychiatrist. Suggesting she live in a facility is ridiculous. OCD can be treated with SSRIs and therapy on an outpatient basis. If that fails they do ECT and if that fails they do psychosurgery as a last resort. OCD is a very disabling condition. In fact, the WHO lists the most disabling mental illnesses which are schzophrenia, dementia. depression, OCD, bipolar and alcohol disorders. OCD actually comes before bipolar and alcohol disorders. It's total hell. Also my psychiatrist prescribed meds at the first appointment and told me to do psychotherapy in addition. I take Prozac and saved my life. I have ADHD and OCD and DH doesn't care if I miss my ADHD meds but freaks if I forget my OCD meds. It also sounds from OP that the patient is not functioning (sleeping all day, not working or going to school). If that's the case and the psychiatrist is not prescribing meds, it's time to look for a different psychiatrist. A residential facility is not the answer. My response is based on the details OP gave. I know OP could be leaving out details.[/quote]

I’ve never heard of ECT for OCD.[/quote]

Do the research.[/quote]
