My soon to be 13 year old son's tics are pretty mild right now but his OCD compulsions are really bad. He also has TS, ADHD and anxiety.
The symptoms which are most bothersome are his CONSTANT nail biting and skin picking. He also destroys things without thinking by picking at them until they fall apart. He also has to have things done in a certain way and has to do something once he gets it in his mind. He is also socially withdraw.
I have been researching meds for OCD, tics, etc. which have low side effect profiles and found it overwhelming! Can any of you share want has helped you or your children with these type of symptoms?
