Suggest Non Medicinal Treatment For OCD
My 12 year old daughter is suffering from OCD. She is in therapy for over a year and it has gotten progressively worse. THe discussion of medication has come up and I am not comfortable putting her on them. We did try an over the counter St Johns Wort which she said helped but gave her major diarrhea. I am looking for a hollistic solution to try????

Welcome to HCM
Holistic approach gives the best result for such conditions.
Periodic Counselling is the main stay of management.
Make him spend time with his genuine friends and cousins of the same age group
Put him on scatting classes, which will help in increasing concentration power.
Don't question him or monitor him with his knowledge.
Don't criticize in front of others nor allow others to criticize.
Continue medications also.
Take care.
In few years he will be fine.
