sarah442 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 My 9 year old son has severe ocd. Medicine and speaking to a professional isn't working. Any one any tips on what else to do? Link to comment
Gemma@OCDUK Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Hi Sarah, I'm sorry to hear that your son is struggling and isn't making progress at the moment. You mention that he's speaking to a professional, is this through CAMHS and is he receiving CBT? Gemma Link to comment
sarah442 Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 Yes we was with camhs. But then private. The other night it took him 1h30 mins to wash his hands. He won't walk past anything that is on the floor. He cries to himself saying he can't fight it he thinks he will be like this for the rest of his life. He won't touch anythin that is black. He think he will go blind when he's been to the toilet. Link to comment
Caramoole Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I'm sorry to hear your little boy is suffering, it's particularly horrible that children suffer this way. How long has he been having these problems? Is there anything particularly that you think might have provoked him to feel such anxiety? Anything going on in life that has caused such upset?

sarah442 Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 No nothing going on. Been quite a few months now. I don't know what else to do to help him. Link to comment
Caramoole Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Did it start suddenly? Has he tried to explain to you what it is that makes him frightened? Link to comment
