My 14yo has had OCD for at least 3 years. She has had a range of phases, from hand washing, tidying and, more recently, running up and down in the kitchen for hours at a time. She has been through CAMHs but this didn’t really help. If we ask her to leave the kitchen she gets aggressive and can often become abusive and violent. We have found ways of managing but the thought of weeks of lockdown is filling us with dread. As she no longer has to get up for school she is running until 2 in the morning. We do try to remove her but this often gets physical and I am scared someone will get hurt. She refuses to discuss what drives this and I am at a real loss. Any thoughts??
