Guest guest Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I have a question about success for students with OCD, post HS, specifically college: recommended course load, recommended majors, recommended living arrangements (dorm, apt., stay at home), small or large university. Also, my son is down hearted about the life long aspect of OCD and his ability to work if he gets through college. He is 17, a junior, thinking of game design (graphics aspect) but concerned about intensity, need for perfectionism, and inability to finish his many creative ideas. Works well with his hands. He is a B student at best with high expectations. Is struggling alot right now with OCD interfering with homework, school, general pleasure with life. Said he is not suicidal but feels he is headed that way. Was on 24 hour watch 2 years ago. Now is an 8-9 out of 10 as far as level of anxiety/OCD. Is on Fluoxetine 40 mg., Busbar just started 20 mg., Adderral XR 30 mg. Not seeing huge dif. with the Busbar but supposed to wait 2 weeks I guess to see affect. His diag. is anxiety, depression, ADHD-inattentive mainly. Has a 504. Goes to weekly therapy.Has had trouble with all diag. since 8 yr. Thank you for your help.
