Hi! We're the parents of a six yesr old who has add, but is showing

strong symptoms of ocd. Ocd runs in our family, so it was easy to

pick out in him. He is currently on adderall for the add and it

works wonders. I'm very hesitant to go to drugs for the ocd since it

seems many of the same symptoms we're trying to combat in add are the

side effects of ocd drugs. I would like to try behavioral therapy

first before resorting to drugs. We have made some great strides

with the adderall and I hate to see him take any steps back. I

should probably also mention he's gifted. We're currently searching

for a therapist who specializes in working with children.

Has anyone had experience with cbt with their children and what

exactly is involved?

Thanks, D
