Re: Cannot cope anymore -- LISA - REPLY

[Guest guest]

Hi , I (Chris/moderator) know this is a " long-time coming " but finally got

another reply. Dr. passed it to Dr. Storch (said she didn't have much

experience with hoarding and thought he may have thoughts) and Dr. Storch

replied today. So here's Dr. Storch's thoughts on your situation:

Sounds like a difficult case --- This child may be best served in a residential

setting that focuses on OCD and then moved into a less intensive treatment

setting (e.g., outpatient). I've found that the rage/disruptiveness can make it

difficult to work on an outpatient basis only sometimes. The places I think very

highly of for a 12 year old include Memorial in WI.

Hope this is helpful!

Warmly,

Storch, Ph.D.
