Hello, I'm a new member here who is looking for support, information, and above all hope. My 5 year old little girl has sever ocd and we are trying to learn to cope. Our family doesn't understand everything about what we are going through and, unfortunately, many of them think she is just acting out or has bipolar disorder. The truth is that she has gotten to the point that she doesn't want to leave the house and the therapist she has been seeing is worried that she will become agoraphobic without help. I am hoping that medication is not needed, but right now we can only go on what we have learned so far and hope for the best. I hate to see my baby girl going through this but maybe with some good support and help we will be able to make progress. Any advice would be welcomed.
