13 year old son with severe OCD (Question for DR.or anyone)

[Guest guest]

My 13 year old son has severe OCD. We are on the waiting list for a Residential

treatment center. In the meantime I am haveing a very difficult time knowing

how to handle all this. Do we help him eat and get him dressed or leave him to

do it himself. We go back and forth on helping and not helping. We have pretty

much no help in our area as far as therapist trained in E/RP. Treatment centers

in our area just don't sound like they will be of any benefit to him nothing

that does E/RP. He has been in therapy for the last 3 years. My big question

would have to be where do I draw the line as a parent? How much do I help? If I

don't help at all he may end up in the hospital because he hasn't eaten. etc.

At this point it just seems like severe OCD(just right, perfectionism), no ADHD,

BDD maybe anerxia.
