Raising awareness about children with OCD

[MaxineRyder]

I wish to raise awareness about children with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Its such a lonely experience when you are a child, so embarrassing and difficult to talk about. So you suffer in silence and feel terribly scared and guilty about it.

Matters are made worse by parents who are totally ignorant of the condition and will actually scold these poor kids, if they ever catch them acting oddly.

I KNOW FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WHAT THIS FEELS LIKE!!!

Right now i have started a page and am including some useful links that parents and children may find useful.
About OCD - A Life Lived Ridiculously

If anyone here has any tips and ideas to share with me, that would be great. Otherwise just please pass it on.

Love
Maxine xx

Hi Maxine!

I think it's great you're raising awareness for this! I didn't even realize kids can have OCD too..

Good luck on the way!
