OCD stands for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and is a form of anxiety that can occur in children and young people. It can be stressful and upsetting to see your child struggling with OCD, and you may be unsure of the best way to support them. Dr. Joshua Harwood provides some tips to help support and understand your child’s OCD behaviours, while also giving examples on how to expose your child to their triggers and promote relaxation. Disclaimer: If you notice any red flags in your child’s behaviour it is important to get in contact with your GP or to call 111. However, if you think your child is in danger then take them to the nearest A+E where mental health professionals can help or call 999 immediately.
