FOR CAREGIVERS

Many children with OCD are reluctant to share their symptoms either because they are embarrassed or they don’t even realize what they are experiencing isn’t the norm. Parents and other family members are often confused, recognizing that a problem may exist but are not able to identify it or know how to respond to it. Symptoms of OCD can be very similar to other psychological conditions (such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorders, or other anxiety disorders), so it can be a challenge to help your child get the care they need.

Kids, teens and adults with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) are trapped in a vicious cycle of worries, intrusive thoughts and rituals. While loved ones are desperate to help them, defeating OCD takes time and specialized therapy. To uncover what OCD is, and what it isn’t, filmmakers Kelly Anderson and Chris Baier focus on an unlikely group of experts: kids!
