I'd take her to a child psychiatrist and get a dx. Then maybe try some out patient cognitive behavior therapy. I understand that the younger you start it, the better it works. Good luck.

First I would talk to your daughter and find out how bad her ocd really is. Then I would take her to the doctor. They may be able to start her on a program to help her.

Yes, get her started now.

Thanks for the responses. It is very difficult to talk to my daughter about it. She is intraverted and a private person. When I approach her, she thinks I'm accusing her of doing something wrong. I tell her that she isn't doing anything wrong. She just keeps repeating it and getting upset. What now?

does every situation needs drugs? that's alllll i here is, "yeah, u need meds", or yeah, you should see a doc! what about before all this, the past when all this did'nt exist, huh????????????

That is my intention, but how do I even start by talking to my daughter - she is very shy, intraverted. She gets real distress when I try to talk to her about it. She says "What did I do wrong?" I tell her she didn't do anything wrong.

definitely take her to get some psychiatric help. Once you find out whether she is or isn't; if she is just keep taking her to the concelor. They will help her stop being as ocd. Granted it is a mental issue, it will help her control it better.it's okay to be ocd, it won't take over her life if you don't let it. Every time she or her starts to do something off or do it repeatedly, say "stop it. control it" they may say they can't. That's when you say "what's going to happen if you stop?" and it's usually something they think will happen. I used to think that if i didn't touch every piece of wood i walked by then all my worst fears were going to come true.they didn't. just keep reassuring. i started therapy young so the sooner the better.=] good luck!

and about her thinking she did something wrong, just keep reminding her she doesn't have any issues and that NOTHING IS WRONG WITH HER! when my dad used to approach me, i would get upset and think i was being a bad person. remind her of everything she does well and that you are just looking out for her best interest. it's hard but just ask her if there is something that may be on her mind. Although she is an introverted person, say that"if something is bothering you and you don't tell me, there's no way to make it better." i'm sorry, i don't have kids, but i hope it works!
