PARENT FEATURE How is OCD treated? OCD can be treated with medicine and therapy. For kids who need medicines, doctors give SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), like Zoloft, Prozac and Luvox. Therapists treat OCD with cognitive behavioural therapy – which is a talk-anddo therapy. Here kids learn about OCD and begin to understand it better and how to handle the symptoms. They learn that doing rituals keeps OCD going strong, and that not doing rituals helps to weaken OCD. Learning these skills helps stop the cycle of OCD. Part of treatment is coaching parents on how they can help kids get better. Parents learn how to respond to OCD situations, and how to support their child’s progress without giving in to rituals. What can parents do? 1. Talk with your child Talk and listen to your child and show love and support. Say things like, “I notice you worry about you saw on television or that you think you broke something,”. Say that something called OCD might be causing the worry. Tell your child that a visit with a doctor can help find out what is going on. Reassure your child that this can get better, and that you want to help. 2. Make an appointment Look for a child psychiatrist or psychologist in your area… someone who specialises in Cognitive Behaviour Play Therapy would be beneficial. 3. Take part in your child’s therapy Overcoming OCD is a process. There will be many therapy appointments, and it’s important to go to them all. Learn as much as you can about the disease. 4. Get support for you There are lots of resources and support for parents and families dealing with OCD. Knowing that you’re not alone can help you cope. Sharing success stories with other parents can give you hope and confidence. 22 | The <strong>Trinitonian</strong>
