10-year-old dd birthday… and OCD diagnosis

[Guest guest]

He everyone. I'm struggling to keep up with the great posts here, but I want to

take a minute to introduce myself. My name is Angi, and my daughter (who turns

10 today), has recently been diagnosed with OCD. As I've researched into it, it

also seems clear that her older sister is also affected with some form of

anxiety or OC disorder, and younger bro either ADD/ADHD or OCD (I understand

there can be some cross-symptoms).

I'm feeling extremely overwhelmed. I alternate between hopeful that we're

catching this all early and are seeking treatment, and fearful that all the

worst-case scenarios will come about.

I'm currently searching for a good counselor and child psychiatrist (the LCSW

we've been working with doesn't feel equipped to handle the depth of the OCD).

Thankfully, 10-yr-old is willing and eager to work with the process. Older

daughter is not (typical of her personality).

I'm hoping to keep up here. Thanks all.
