[QUOTE="Josie, post: 303224, member: 1792"] My daughter has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). She is taking a very small dose of Lexapro to help and we have done CBT/ERP therapy for her. It is my understanding that the CBT/ERP therapy is the most successful treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) but some people need medicine to help them do it. For CBT/ERP therapy, the person exposes themselves to their fear and sees that their anxiety will come down even without doing the compulsion. For example, with the computer coming on, your daughter would possibly spend time imagining the computer coming on, get very anxious, but see that she couldn't stay so anxious forever and would get over it. In theory, once they see how it works, they are able to recognize Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in new situations and do this exercise themselves to get over it. There is a good book about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) called "What to do When Your CHild has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)" by Aureen Pinto Wagner. My daughter has been able to get over some of her obsessions with the CBT/ERP. [/QUOTE]
