It sounds like your son's therapist doesn't specialize in OCD or at least

doesn't practice the recognized best treatment: exposure and response

prevention. After so many sessions, you should be seeing significant

improvement and in order for this to happen, you need to know what your son is

working on in treatment and help him do work on this during the rest of the week

at home.

Welcome!

If you already travel 2 hours, I would go a little further to the University of

Southern Florida Pediatric OCD center in St Pete. Dr Storch runs the

program there and is excellent. Hopefully they could recommend someone closer

but I think Naples to St Pete is about 3 hours

I would call the Dr. that you are planning on seeing - tell them that this is

getting to be an emergency situation - he needs to be seen immediately. I don't

think you all can hold out for 40 days..

Keep us posted

Is he seeing a psychiatrist for treatment with regard to medication? Forty days

is a long time to wait when he is so anxious and depressed. I hope that a

psychiatrist has started him on medication. The OCD meds are actually

antidepressants, so they help both OCD and depression. If he is started now on

the right medication, he will be better able to participate in the intensive

therapy in 40 days. Also, by seeing a psychiatrist now, you will have a better

handle on whether his depression is so bad that he should be hospitalized to be

stabilized.

I think it is human nature to worry more in the evening. For example, you have

a baby who has a fever and a cold, but seems to be not too sick during the day

while you are busy with lots of things to do. Then night-time comes and there

are fewer distractions and you look at the feverish baby and think, " Maybe he is

sick with something worse than a cold. I wish I had brought him to the doctor

today. Should I take him to the ER? "

I'm pretty sure most parents can relate to that example.

During the day, there are distractions. By evening, we are tired. When we are

tired, we tend to worry more and be more emotional. Anyway, that's my theory.

So I think everything tends to feel worse in the evening. And OCD being a

Worrying Disease--worrying intensifies when the sun goes down.

My son, who has OCD and bipolar, was always worse in the evenings. He's so much

better now (and your son will get better, too!), but from time to time, he gets

overwhelmed and needs to call his psychologist. Sometimes it's late afternoon,

but usually it's in the evening when he gets too overwhelmed and has to call.

But it doesn't really matter if that is why evenings are worse: if you are very

worried about your son's behavior in the evenings, you need to tell his doctor

so the doctor knows what your son is like when he is out of the doctor's office.

You have probably done that already. But if you are worried about his safety,

keep telling them until they listen. Or take him to their emergency room (the

U.S.F. emergency that's connected to the intensive program).

We are here for you. Keep posting to us. Your son will get better. And we

will all be rejoicing with you when that time comes.

The program in St Pete is wonderful. Dr Storch who runs it is a world expert on

treating OCD. He has good therapists under him and oversees their work. Your son

will be getting excellent therapy. We did a program with them over scype ( part

of a study no longer running) for 14 weeks and my son went from moderate to not

diagnosable while doing the work. He was still not diagnosable 3 months later.

That was 3 years ago. I would say that now he is likely mild, but we are not

seeing anyone. I feel like I have the skills I need to help him through CBT/ERP

for most things. 40 days is a long time to wait but is sounds like they will be

seeing him next week to start off, then starting the intensive? If we ever need

help again, I will go to St Pete for an intensive ( we live in Vermont) I was

that impressed. I strongly encourage people having trouble finding good help to

START with an intensive at a pediatric OCD center so they can learn to be the

expert in their area. Seriously, when I retire, I could open a CBT/ERP practice

I think. And offer scype therapy which i think is the solution to the problem of

finding a good therapist for CBT/ERP. I am so glad you will be going there. It

is really wonderful. Also lots of fun things to do in the Tampa/ st pete area

in the off hours- you can make it like a mini vacation. My son loves rollter

coasters ( imagine being affraid of invisible spots, but loving roller coasters)

so we went to Busch Gardens for a reward for starting. Also there is a great

science museum in Tampa.

[Guest guest]

I agree with other posts- evening is the hardest. Also when they are sick or

stressed. I think they are tired and have low reserve to fight or deal with it.

I am pretty crabby by bedtime too which makes it worse I am sure. This is very

common. How old is your son? Sometimes it gets better as they get older because

they have a little more energy in the evening.

[Guest guest]

HI MARIO AND ALL OF YOU. WE WILL BE IN ST. PETE MON AND TUE, AND THEN I DO

NOT KNOW HOPE THEY WILL TAKE HIM FOR INTENSIVE PROGRAM,THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL

THE GOOD FEELING THAT YOU GIVE ME IN GENERAL AND THE ST.PETE, WE WENT ONCE TO

THERE BUT BECOUSE THE DESTINED WE WENT TO OTHER PLACE,(WITH OUT HOME WORK)I

JUST PRAY THEY WILL EXEPET HIM.ARE YOUR SON MILED NOW? AND HOW IN SCHOOL ?THANK

YOU FOR ALL GOOD THING AGAIN. JACOB

Yes, , my son is mild now (my guess - he has not had yale brown score done

recently). He still has stuff for sure, but it USUALLY does not interfere with

his life in any major way- there are bumps here and there mostly with

perfectionism, and he has waht he calls " quirks " which are really OCD but at the

level of dislikes more than he cant do something. He is a straight A student,

and star athelete. He is king of the school ( very popular). All the kids know

he is anxious about tests and schoolwork, but they are ok with it. They joke

with him that he " asks his way through tests " . ( reassurance seeking), and is

stingy ( hoarding) and strongly encourages them to wipe their feet at the door

and acts like a jerk to other players on his own team if they dont make the

play, but again, somehow he gets away with it all and stays really popular.

He has school acomidations which at this point are mostly about testing (

alternate site and able to ask for reassurance and be helpe through a problem if

necessary so he can go on and not get " stuck " . Also extra time . Test is graded

with the knowledge of the input of the special ed person and if the reassurance

seeking was about anxiety or content. ( Ie on algebra final he got a 96 but

sought reassurance on about 50% of questions)

He was diagnosed at age 3 and was SEVERE ( totally consumed) for about 5 years

in 2 separate bouts each lasting about 2.5 years. Otherwise mild to moderate.

Doing super well for last 3 years since USF program

[Guest guest]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVRY THING,(I AM START TO LEARN FROM YOU TO BE POSTIVE,

LIKE TO ASK YOU : HOW CAN I TRY TO ASK THEM IN SINT. PITERSBERG TO TAKE HIM

AND WHAT IN GENERAL I SOULD ASK OR BE READY FOR MONDAY. I DO NOT BELIVE HE CAN

GO TO SCHOOL IN HIS OCD NOW,YES MY SON WAS A STUDENT, EVRY ONE LOVE HIM,NOW HE

HAVE NO INTREST IN ANY THING,I SEE HOW MUCH YOU IS DEDICATE TO YOUR SON I WOLD

DO THE SAME,SO BEAUTIFUL THAT YOUR SON CAN FUNCTION NOW AND DO WELL,THANK YOU .

Have u looked in to p.a.n.d.a.s? Did the onset of

Want to try a trial of antibiotics. Pandas stands for

My 6 yr old has OCD but it got much worse

Last year when he had recurring strep infections.

I also took my son to st Pete at rothman center.

OCD is a neuropsychiatric disorder. There are actually chemical and structural

differences in the brain that cause it. There are " triggers' that can make it

come out in someone who has the underlying brain abnormality but the " trigger "

is not the answer to " why " . The only " why " that matters is if they have PANS

or PANDAS which is then treated differently. It is like asking why your kid got

diabetes or cancer- they just did. Now you need to treat.

They will help you in St Pete. He may need medication too if he is not already

on it, but they should be able to help you with all of it- but it takes time. I

would not expect to see anything get better ( maybe even worse at the beginning)

for several weeks in intensive therapy. But I agree. Unless you are dealing with

PANDAS/ PANS, the why is irrelevant.
