Understanding Adolescent OCD
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition that affects people of all ages, including adolescents. It involves experiencing recurring and unwanted thoughts, known as obsessions, that lead to the urge to engage in repetitive behaviors, called compulsions. These obsessions and compulsions can be disruptive and time-consuming, causing distress and impacting daily life.
Common signs of OCD include:
- Excessive hand-washing or cleaning
- Counting and arranging objects in a specific way
- Repeatedly checking things, such as locks or appliances
- Hoarding and difficulty throwing away items
- Constantly seeking reassurance or approval from others
It’s normal for adolescents to experience some of these behaviors occasionally. However, if they occur frequently and interfere with daily activities, it may be a sign they need adolescent OCD treatment.
Our Unique Approach to Teen OCD Treatment
At Family First Adolescent Services, we distinguish ourselves through our innovative approach to treating adolescent OCD. We deliver evidence-based therapies and trauma-informed care, ensuring each teen receives optimal treatment. Our strategies include evidence-based therapies in individual, group, and family therapy settings.
OCD isn’t always expressed in common ways and often results in taking goals or behaviors far past normal. Constantly exceeding these limits can cause teens to develop poor coping mechanisms, such as self-harm, substance abuse, or even physical illness. Our team of experts takes an integrative approach to address all aspects of the disorder and its effects on your teen’s life.
