ocd

by dee4011, Nov 10, 2008 11:08AM
Hi my daughter is 20yrs.old and has ocd,it consumes most of her day.What kind of help is available other then meds,which she is already taking? Therapy? She has had ocd for about 4 years and it has gradually got worse.She isn't enjoying life like she could be and it saddens me.What are the chances of living a normal life when you have been diagnosed with this mental condition?

Thanks

I'm 19 and have OCD and it used to consume most of my day just like your daughter.  I found that perhaps even more helpful than medicine was therapy.  Find a good behavorial and exposure psychologist.  I was lucky and found one of the top OCD psychologists in the country, if not the world.  She really helped me and my OCD is much more manageable if not gone for most of the time.  Hope everything works out and good luck.
