[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 551004, member: 1550"] Hearts, my oldest son has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and he had to drop out of college because he couldn't stop counting the words his professors were saying...he couldn't learn anything. He was on disability for about a year until he could get the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) until control. Along with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) comes anxiety. Obsessive thinking is part of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). You get a thought into your head and it won't go away. My son has this too. medications have been very helpful to him, but right now he is only taking a tranquilizer so I can hear how he is over-obsessing on his ex-wife to the point of being unable to move on with his own life. People don't realize that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can be debilitating. I know Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can be a big prescence with Tourettes. I would personally encourage your daughter to disregard the made up diagnosis. What a dumb therapist! While I totally agree with Janet about the borderline...I have it...it's been under good control for quite a while, but I know how it is...because of your daughter's Tourettes and the mental health issues Tourette's is often aligned with, I am thinking maybe in her case it is more physically based than a personality disorder. Time will tell. I do know that, as a borderline who was untreated (and even now at times), I felt emotional peaks and valleys ALL THE TIME. Could be minute to minute. The mood dysregulation didn't ever take a vacation, but was close to homicidal before my period...lol. I have learned many tricks to stop the emotional roller coaster. If your child is bright and suffering from minute-to-minute moodswings, I highly recommend buying her one of the books on Dialectal Behavioral Therapy. It has really changed my life. in my opinion it's better than cognitive therapy for emotional dysregulation problems and anger. It is for borderlines, but is starting to be used for other mental health issues too, such as mood disorders. This therapy is on the fast track! [/QUOTE]
