[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 264096, member: 2423"] The SSRIs Prozac, Zoloft and Luvox as well as the tricyclic Anafranil are all FDA-approved to treat Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in children (they also treat generalized anxiety disorders). However, these medications can make children with bipolar-like mood disorders worse so if there's any chance that's what's going on, you do need to be cautious. Why wouldn't you bring her to a child psychiatrist for medication management? General doctors aren't skilled enough to treat psychiatric disorders. [/QUOTE]
