8978[/snapback] Hello. I am the mother of a child with OCD. My son, 17 years old, found out he was diagnosed 4 months ago. As a mother and a friend to Simon, I would like to learn more about OCD from the people who know it best - the people who experience it. Please, just take a few min. and answer some of my questions that my doctor could not help me with, so I can have a better understanding of his condition. You can skip questions if you do not feel comfortable; all i need is some support and a few answers. Thank you very much! Marrie Porter Please e-mail me with answers at: marrieporter@yahoo.com - Have you been through a highly stressful event before diagnosed with OCD? - What are you common obsessions and compulsions and how do you feel when you do these things? - Do you take any theraphy, drugs, or any other treatments to relieve your anixity? If you do take meds., what works the best in your point of view? - Does OCD run in your family? Do any other anixity disorders run in your family? - How did you find out that you had OCD? Thank you again. You do not know how much Simon means to me, and these answers can help me have a better understanding of my son.
