Guest guest Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 My son is more obsessive than compulsive. A therapist once told me that OCD is really anxiety to the tenth degree and I would agree. CBT works well for GAD and OCD Bonnie > > hi. I found this group this weekend after our first appointment with a therapist. My 7 year old has had struggles on and off for years. She becomes very anxious over things that others may take in stride. At times she has meltdowns (crying, screaming, repeating the same phrases over and over). We have previously just prayed that she would outgrow it and we did start meds for ADD (thinking part of her anxiousness was caused by zoning out at school and then not knowing what to do). Friday was the first time I thought this may be OCD. Our therpist mentioned OCD (which he really thinks it is) or Generalized anxiety. My question is about the compulsiveness...Do any of you have children where it seems to be more about the obsessiveness and less about the compulsivemeness? Just trying to figure this out so that I can help my sweet girl. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
