Author Mitzi Waltz presents a superior guide on this complex neurological illness, with thorough and thoughtful attention to every subtopic imaginable: causes; consequences; diagnosis (including rare conditions and related disorders); therapeutic, medical, and alternative intervention; insurance issues; schooling; and transitions. Each chapter reads easily as it unravels the intricacies associated with OCD, but never sacrifices detail. Most helpful are Waltz's comprehensive list of medications (including generic names, side effects, known interaction hazards, and special tips), her critical chapter on the turbulent school years, and the resource section that includes the Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale for assessing symptoms. Herself the mother of two children diagnosed with OCD, Waltz speaks candidly, empowering parents to make critical choices for their child's treatment and to employ successful coping skills for daily living. Her opinions--and those quoted from parents traveling the same road--offer additional, firsthand knowledge that smartly supports each topic. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Help for Children and Adolescents is an extremely valuable tool for parents, teens with OCD, and child therapists as well. --Liane Thomas
Childhood OCD can be a truly debilitating disability, not just a minor problem or personality quirk. Children with OCD experience extreme anxiety, embarrassment, sometimes even harassment, because of this disorder. Their OCD symptoms often prevent them from building good relationships, from achieving their best in school, and from having a normal childhood. The effects of this disruption can be painful and lifelong.
The good news is that OCD is very treatable. With prompt, consistent intervention, most young people with OCD can wrest back control of their lives. "Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder helps parents:
Secure an accurate and complete diagnosis
Live with OCD in the family: using effective parenting techniques, building support systems, and handling difficult issues
Understand medical interventions
Explore therapeutic and other interventions, such as cognitive therapy and vitamins or supplements
Get care with an existing health plan, even with no coverage of "mental disorders"
Navigate the special education system
Author Mitzi Waltz, an advocate for children's neurological issues, has included the stories of dozens of parents and adolescents.
