The Truth About OCD

Often a family realizes that their child isn't acting the same. Something just doesn't seem right. Perhaps they are having difficulty sleeping or having trouble getting up in the morning to go to school. Maybe a task that used to be simple has become very time consuming and stressful.

Some of these changes may be subtle and almost unnoticeable yet others may be very distinct. Most young children and teens won't discuss the problems that they are experiencing. They may not even be aware of what's happening and why they are having difficulty doing things that were simple just a few weeks or days ago.

My teenage daughter Lauren, wrote, edited, and produced a video called The Truth About OCD. It highlights some situations that your child or someone that you know may be going through.

In the documentary, teenage actors reveal events that are making their lives difficult. A therapist that specializes in OCD and anxiety disorders also comments throughout the film.

This film has a lot of helpful and hopeful information in it.

Please leave a comment for Lauren, she'd love to hear from you!
If you'd like to post these videos on your blog just e-mail us.
