I just found this site today after reading an article in the Denver Post. For those of you living with OCD yourself, or with OCD in family members, I want you to know that there is great support available. Someone posted the OC Foundation website: www.ocfoundation.org. They give links to online support groups. ocdandparenting (yahoogroups.com)was a lifesaver for me (still is) when my son was diagnosed at 9 with OCD and comorbid depression. I attend the national conference almost yearly and get together with the wonderful women who became my lifelines. I also am a conference presenter on ocd and school issues, parent-clinician and parent-parent panels. If anyone wants more info they can email me directly. Please know there is successful treatment for OCD, even though it is really hard to find a therapist trained in this specific mental illness. I have a list of books, websites, and other resources. Mental illness is treated more succesfully than heart disease. If only people knew.
