Teen OCD Treatment

If you answered yes to any of these questions, your teen may be suffering from OCD, obsessive compulsive disorder. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is one of the more common mental illnesses of teens, with a prevalence of 1% to 3% according to the US National Library of Medicine. OCD consists of both obsessions, thoughts that won’t go away and compulsions, or behaviors that your teen does in order to prevent something bad from happening.

The media portrays OCD as being neat and clean, however that is not typically the presenting symptom in most teens with OCD.

It is more common for a teen with OCD to obsessively worry that something bad is going to happen and then do something they think will prevent the bad thing from happening. Ex. Are repeating numbers in a pattern, praying excessively, tapping fingers, re-reading assignments over and over, spending excessive time on homework due to rewriting or making it perfect, having to have things are certain way that doesn’t always make sense to their parents.
