What Parents Need to Know About OCD

My guest this week is Dr. Tamar Chansky, a licensed psychologist and founder of the Children’s and Adult Center for OCD and Anxiety in Plymouth Meeting, PA. She is the author of numerous books on the treatment of anxiety, including the popular Freeing Yourself from Anxiety Series: Freeing Your Child From Anxiety, Freeing Your Child from Negative Thinking, and Freeing Your Child From OObsessive-CompulsiveDisorder. Dr. Chansky is the creator of the educational website: worrywisekids.org. Her most recent book, Freeing Yourself from Anxiety: 4 Simple Steps to Overcome Worry and Create the Life You Want is for anyone suffering from everyday worry, an anxiety disorder or depression. 

In this episode, Dr. Chansky and I discuss how parents can distinguish and understand symptoms associated with OCD as well as how to treat it effectively. Children suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder experience various symptoms from outward obsessive actionable displays to internal incessant thoughts. OCD is often mistaken for anxiety-related symptoms. OCD treatment is possible and highly effective. To learn more about OCD treatments and Dr. Chansky click here.
