Helping Your Child with OCD

Children and teens are often anxious about one thing or another: fears of the dark, of being alone, of writing an exam, fears of death, of illness or of a million other things. It's hard to know when a child is suffering from the regular stress of being human or whether he or she is suffering from some sort of anxiety disorder. The e-book "Helping Your Child with OCD" helps you to identify whether your child's worries and anxiety are within the normal range or whether true anxiety is playing a role. It describes the different types of anxiety disorders that are commonly found in kids and it focuses particular attention on Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) often begins in childhood. When parents recognize the symptoms of OCD they can provide early intervention for their youngster. This is extremely important in the case of OCD because it is a disorder that tends to worsen over time when left untreated. On the other hand, early intervention can often lead to a quick resolution of symptoms and prevent the problem from worsening.

OCD consists of worries and rituals (like putting things in order, excessive washing, frequently checking things, and many other behaviors) that rob a young person of carefree, joyful living. It is not an emotional disorder - it is a "brain glitch." Unfortunately, parents can accidentally worsen the condition by responding inappropriately to their child's demands. However, once parents are armed with information and know how they can be helpful in their child's recovery, the entire family prospers. Learn about what OCD is and is not, and about psychological, medical and alternative treatments for this common childhood disorder.
