[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all the people talking about Shepard Pratt, etc. I’m surprised. As someone who took her DD teen to Children’s ER for mental health, they aren’t bumping anyone up a mental health list or hospitalizing anyone who isn’t a danger to themselves or others. OP’s DD needs help but her situation in no way warrants emergency care. As someone with OCD, your DD needs to be medicated for her OCD immediately. SSRIs, like a higher dose of Prozac is in order. I think of OCD as kind of like an iceberg, there is so much anxiety underneath the behaviors. You know the compulsions are weird and so you try to hide them. The fact that she is doing so many different rituals means she is really out of control. This should be your first order of business. Talk to your pediatrician about medication. It can take up to 6 weeks to see the full impact. Good luck.[/quote]

Agree 100%. First stop is an OCD assessment. I think posters are reacting to OP’s extreme tone (“criminal!” “schizophrenic”!) rather than the facts of the behavior which all sound within the realm of non-crisis mental health issues. I mean, putting wet pants on dry clothes isn’t some kind of deranged behavior. It’s spacey and annoying, sure. [/quote]

+1 I have ocd too, and it can cause considerable depression along with the anxiety that causes it. I just read a book about teen girl psychology that said anxiety/depression in tweens/teens manifests primarily as irritability.[/quote]
