Hi
My 11 year old daughter has severe bad thought OCD. She was a high achieving, competitive athlete until April 2011 when she was diagnosed with anxiety and depression, she spiralled down and was hospitalized for suicidality for 4 months last fall. She returned home and has been going to a day treatment centre for 5 months where they try and help her with the thoughts, the anxiety etc. She sees a psychiatrist, psychologist and therapist at the centre. She is on Sertraline (200mg) and Seroquel (250mg). We also get family therapy from the centre. It is so hard to imagine her recovering and leading a normal life. I need some hope that there is recovery.
Thanks.
