Guest guest Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Hi, my name is Sdenka and I have a son(15) who was diagnosed with OCD this past summer. Looking back now, it is clear to me that he has had OCD since he was a toddler, it just never seemed to interfere with his life. I guess it was just mild enough that he could work around it. Our family figured that he was just picky about things. This all changed however, last year during his first year of high school. Things got pretty severe. He's started on prozac about 2 months ago and has just had his first appointment with a therapist that will provide CBT and ERP. As I've been reading about OCD, I've learned that I should have started therapy first and medicine later if needed, but it was just a lot easier to find a qualified pediatric psychiatrist than to find a good therapist. At this point the medicine doesn't seem to have helped at all. One of our biggest challenges is not getting frustrated with him for his OCD behaviors. This is something that we work on daily.
