Judith, what a great advocate you are for your son and others who may be battling OCD. He is fortunate in that he was able to find support from his family, a diagnosis (some people don't) and treatment.
And I'm with Susan. If he's not comfortable socializing with others, that's OK. I also find that I'm most happy heads down and deeply focused on a particular task.
And Judith, in addition to the great information you've provided on what to look out for, I wanted to share some information with others who may just be learning about OCD.
Dr. Helen Blair Simpson is an expert of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University in New York City and specializes in OCD. You can watch video interviews of Dr. Simpson here. Empowher also has a primer on OCD here.
Thank you Judith for taking the time to share your story. I have no doubt that in sharing your story you have improved someone else's life. Will you update us on James as he progresses?
