need advice on OCD support group

[Guest guest]

There's an OCD support group of 3-4 adult guys that meets about 45 minutes from

where we live. Is this something I should look into for son (almost 18)? Is it

helpful for him to regularly meet with other people struggling with OCD? Or

downplay it and keep him in volleyball, swimming, youth group, etc?

thanks

I think you may want to know more about the functioning levels of these men and

how the group is run, before you consider it further. There is an on-line yahoo

group for teens with OCD, if you think he would be interested, that might be

more age appropriate.

Thanks Jordana, he really seems to have no interest in it so I will let it go.

I've read that some people find it very helpful to have accountability with

other folks with OCD but his therapist seems to be giving that.
