Guest guest Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Sue: Where in Florida is this OCD center? new member update HI, I wrote in last week for the first time that we just got an OCD dx for our 7 1/2 year old -she has school anxiety, sensitivities of many kinds,and started hair pulling with some bald spots etc. I found and OCD center just 10 mins. from my house in FL and my husband and I had our first appt. with the head psychologist. He said all the right things about CBT and ERP and he was terrific. The questions he asked us about her behavior definately showed that he is quite experienced in this. There is even a parent and child support meeting once a month. I am for the first time a little hopeful as I am still so depressed about the dx. She was just upped to 25 mg of Zoloft , but the center usually uses meds. as a last resort, but the psychiatrist wants her on it. The OCD center mentioned Luvox as a possible better choice. They have a good book they want to read to my daughter about the OCD flea also.So we start this week, and I guess I will put the other psychologist on hold as it seems that some have said without CBT it could be a waste of valuable time. The Dr said every time we have reassured her about her fears that we are feeding the OCD and will learn how to undo that. So between this group and the Ocd center, I feel encouraged for the first time. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
