Re: voices ? OCD/psychosis

[Guest guest]

Interesting article, grance! Thanks for sharing it.

I had a chuckle to myself though as I thought, so they really to

become psychotic when they turn into teens. lol

Seriously though, I've always wondered how puberty plays into it all,

with kids with OCD. I've asked our son's therapist and he said that

it is believed that it plays a part, but I'm not sure if there is any

concrete evidence. Still all teens struggle at that time, as hormones

are playing a huge part in their lives, and you got to wonder what

kind of affect it is having on kids with other issues to deal with too.
