Guest guest Posted September 4, 2000 Report Share Posted September 4, 2000 I have a 9 year old daughter who was diagnosed with OCD in April. We have seen the signs of it since she was in preschool but kept thinking it would go away. She has lots of checking behaviors and rituals. She developed a tic in 3rd grade and got to the point where she wanted help. Our family doc started her on Zoloft this summer. She is taking 50 mg daily. She is a very bright, happy girl and has had a really good attitude about dealing with her OCD. She sees a therapist who is not trained in CBT. Neither the therapist nor our insurance company has any information about CBT in our area. Could anyone suggest a website that might give us some leads? Her 13 year old sister does not have the same types of OCD behaviors, but she is showing signs of anorexia and is obsessed with her appearance. We have made an appointment at a local eating disorder clinic, but she is resistant and angry. We are wondering how closely anorexia is related to OCD and if we should look into CBT for her as well. I can't tell you how beneficial it has been for me to read the posts on this site. Hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
