I can totally relate to most if not all of this, being an OCD sufferer.

The thing is, medication is not the only thing that can help this. CBT is very good, therapy in general, but CBT works wonders for most if not all people who have OCD.

Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy is also brilliant - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposur...nse_prevention (info for you)

I think you're a wonderful mother for being so caring and noticing this and actually wanting to do something about it. You love her, and care for her, and of course, must worry for her. You are a wonderful mother. I'm sure many would love for one like you. All you can really do is be there for her, and love her. She needs that, right now of all times, she is struggling, therefore being there as her mother and also friend, will most likely help her greatly. And I'm sure you're doing that already.

I would recommend that she continues to see the psychologist, and do bring up the OCD and just how severe it is... they may be able to help her in many ways, medication not just being the only option.

Good luck and keep us posted.
