Does My Child Have OCD?

Does My Child Have OCD?

Diagnoses of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, or OCD, are rising sharply.


But how do you know if you or your child might have it?

And what can you do about it?


It can be hard to find the right info about symptoms, causes, and treatment. So In this episode I’m going to talk through what OCD is, but also what it isn’t, and what the common early signs are.


Plus, I’ll give you some super easy, practical things you can do right away to support your children in the best way possible.


So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation…
