Talking to a trusted adult such as a parent, caregiver, or even a teacher can help teens identify their unwanted thoughts and behaviors as OCD and may provide some much needed relief. However, teens — in contrast to children — are also going through a phase of increased independence and may be resistant to admitting they need help.
Below are 5 tips to keep in mind when talking to your teen about OCD and OCD treatment.
1) Do your homework and learn as much as you can about OCD.
2) Recognize the impact of stigma.
3) Engage the entire family.
4) Continue to make schools priority.
5) Prepare yourself to impose consequences.
