Hi. My son was diagnosed with ocd last year. His age is 15 & half years. Though he was advised both counselling & medication, its very difficult to take him for counselling. 1st he is very intelligent. Very difficult to b convinced child. 2ndly he tries to impose his thoughts on others (thoughts r at times very negative & violent. To others he looks quite an introvert which he is not. Last time. Counselling was fixed but he denied saying he is not mad. What should be done in this situation? Please suggest.

First it is very important for a psychologist to build a rapport with him, psychologist should talk to him over the phone and the friendly behaviour of psychologist would help him to share his thoughts. And don't tell him that you are taking him to psychologist just tell him you are going for activity class. I know it is hard for you but you have to manipulate him it's essential for his treatment. As counselling session and therapy would take him away from the ocd.
