Re: question about cleaning obsession/Silvia

[Guest guest]

You are NOT alone Silvia, many others here understand how hard this

is. I've been right where you are on all this and it is not fun. It

is so hard to feel powerless to help your child get well and have to

just stand by and wait until something changes. I sincerely hope that

when your son gets to the psychiatrist this doctor can talk him into a

med change if that is what is needed. Sometimes they can do this where

a parent cannot.

Also, until they are really on board for the CBT it makes no difference

what doctor they see, that is provided of course the one he is

currently seeing is experienced, our experience anyway. It may well

be, as you suspect, that he is depressed, and the med change will help

this and help to turn this aspect around too. I truly hope so.

Hang in there.

Warmly,

Barb
