[QUOTE="sueb, post: 149032, member: 5139"] My 9 y/o daughter has been diagnosed as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)/borderline ADD. I understand that the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder and my daughter's biggest preoccupation seems to be (at its root) a fear of death (hers or ours). For example, for a time she compulsively hand-washed, because she was afraid of germs because....the germs could get her sick and kill her. Now, she's repeating little prayers in her head all day to ward off "bad things" from happening. Ultimately, it all seems to come down to a fear of death/dyiing. I'm just wondering if that's common, if anyone has had any success/tips for helping a morbid little 9 y/o...? TIA! P.S. Tried to create a signature...not sure if it's showing... [/QUOTE]
