Is it OCD or typical early childhood behavior?

No Description

Is it OCD or typical early childhood behavior?

Is your four-year-old lining up toys? Do they love washing their hands over and over? Does your child get frustrated if routines are broken? Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a diagnosis we see, but not all behaviors are considered OCD. In honor of OCD Awareness Week, I welcome Michelle Massi who is a mom and a therapist (LMFT) specializing in working with kids, families and adults who struggle with anxiety, OCD and OC related disorders.

 

She joins me to discuss:

  • The definition and characteristics of OCD
  • If an “inflexible” toddler is a sign of OCD
  • Misconceptions surrounding OCD
  • Management strategies for OCD

 

To connect with Michelle Massi follow her on Instagram @anxietytherapyla, check out all her resources at https://anxietytherapyla.com/. Visit the International OCD Foundation at https://iocdf.org/ for additional resources.
