Good afternoon, I ask for help here because I do not know how to get immediate help, the truth is I do not speak English very well and I see in many places help people over 18 years old and I have my 13-year-old daughter with an attack of thoughts and crying all over time and saying that she hates herself and why is this happening to her, I talk to her but I don't know what else to do

Hi. I don’t know how to advise you with professional help. Just listening and believing can help a lot. There is not a lot of easy fixes for OCD and mental health in any language, but just the fact you are here is awesome! You are a good dad. Having a parent to trust does more than you know. (My own dad has got me through the worst parts of my life by just letting me talk and telling me I’m not crazy.) Sorry if this is an unhelpful answer. I hope she finds people who really understand to talk to.

The greatest gift we can give our children are our prayers. God tells us to cast our cares on Him because He cares for us.

Even if you are in an area where help is not readily available many therapists can help over the phone. Contact the International OCD Foundation (iocdf.org/) and they might be able to refer you to someone who can help.
