Re: ocd

Medication isn't always the answer, perhaps talk to you son about what the best thing that he thinks to do is.

Re: ocd

Our Psychiatrist recently explained that the most effective treatments for OCD are a combination of medication and CBT. One isn't very effective without the other. I hope this helps, it's so hard trying to find a direction. Developing a mental health plan with our GP has really helped us and given us some hope and direction for the future.
