my friend needs ur advice | ADHD Information
hello everybody! i gotta friend here that has she thinks its ocd (cumpolsive disorder) she worries alot she wants to know is it wrong to be reassured when you have that problem? plus she has adhd and anxiety shes 16
I dont think its ever wrong to want reassurance. I also think its great that she has a friend like you to help her. Has she talked to her parents about her feelings? Are they willing to have her tested to see if indeed she does have OCD? Is she on meds or in therapy for the ADHD or anxiety?

My husband, because of things he's gone through, worries a lot and is always asking if I'm ok, if I'm mad at him, etc. I think he's got anxiety issues but he won't get any help. I constantly reassure him and while it doesn't help the problem go away, it does help him feel better. Maybe she and her mom can develop some kind of non-verbal signal that asks and answers am I doing this right, is this ok, etc. I take pills for siezures and if we're in public, dh will touch his fingers to his lips which is his way of asking if I've taken my pills
the psychs are telling her mom not to reassure her i know she wants to know if whatever shes talkin bout or doing if its okay and shes always askin if ur mad at her and there was no reason. my friend also wants to know is it okay to take respiradol, prozac, and visteral those r the medicine they have her on. now im not sure how to answer that i just dont know so i referred her 2 u all.
