Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Specialized Therapy in Scottsdale, Arizona
Obsessions are repetitive, intense, and intrusive thoughts, images, or urges.
Kids and teens with OCD experience obsessions - distressing, unwanted, and intrusive thoughts, images, or urges - that lead to engaging in compulsions in an attempt to feel relief. Children with OCD often feel ashamed, guilty, fearful and helpless. They engage in compulsive behaviors - repetitive behaviors that provide short-term relief from distressing obsessions - even when they are aware that the behavior may be silly, unproductive, or ineffective.
Your child may have OCD if they:
Fear coming into contact with germs, bodily fluids, dirty, household cleaners, etc
Fear being responsible for something terrible happening
Fear acting on impulse to hurt themselves or others
Excessive concern with offending God, sinning, or making mistakes. Excessive confessing to get reassurance
Have excessive concern about evenness, exactness, or perfection
Wash/clean excessively
Check and recheck, touch objects repeatedly, or check and recheck their health
Engaging in behaviors in order to get a “just right” feeling
Engaging in highly rigid rituals, such as goodnight rituals, showering rituals, eating rituals, etc.
