  1. Hi Danielle I also have a 9 year old son with anxiety issues which hasn't yet been diagnosed as ocd, but has some features of this. We live in Liverpool and because of the issues he has in school he has had some therapy already which was helpful but his anxiety has increased again over the summer. I also got the gp to refer to camhs but have recently found out that we could have done a self referral so it might be worth getting in touch with camhs yourself to ask if you can do this. There is also a parent support group attached to our camhs service so try and look locally for that. We were referred last October and have just had an initial assessment over the phone, hopefully treatment will start soon but I would say to get referred sooner rather than later. Like you, school did not initially recognise there was a problem and saw it as my son having behavioural problems rather than anxiety so we had to push a lot for stuff to change in school. My sons main problem is with intrusive thoughts which can be triggered a lot on school and csn be difficult to deal with. Hope you get can get a referral sorted soon.
