Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 I'm interested in seeing what answers you get on this. I have two daughters with OCD--Hannah is almost fifteen and she was diagnosed at eleven. Her OCD is fairly severe and constant but she is able to maintain for the most part. was diagnosed at seven and is twelve now. After experiencing life with from birth until about five, I'd hate to think that she is going to hit her " peak " soon. Lord help me!

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 My daughter is 15, and is she is an example of more balanced hormones and increased maturity, we're all in a lot of trouble :-). I'm thinking maybe by 17... Alene > We took our daughter to a neuropsychologist to rule out any other > learning disability. SHe has OCD and ADHD. Luckily, there are no > L.D.'s.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 my daughter is 10 (acts 25) and I hate to think of the years to come, especially with OCD. I am now 34 and can remember vividly my years 12-17, and I know I gave my mom H**L and I didn't have OCD. --------------------------------- for Good Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Hardest as compared with what ages? My dd's OCD started very young, age four. These past couple of years have been much easier than when she was young (she's 11 3/4 now). She started her period at 10 and is " developed " so puberty is being factored in there as well. It seems maturity helps alot, along with some positive peer pressure. She does not have ADHD which may make a difference in your dd. I'm tickled to think things may further improve mid-teens :-) Kathy R. in Indiana ----- Original Message ----- From: " musicgirl9395 " <musicgirl9395@...> > We took our daughter to a neuropsychologist to rule out any other > learning disability.
