In today’s episode we are joined by Dr. Laura Braider, assistant professor at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra Northwell and expert in OCD treatment. We dive deep into understanding obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), debunking common misconceptions, and offering insights for those of us navigating the challenges of OCD in children. From exploring the early signs in toddlers to dealing with school-age and adolescent behaviors, Dr. Braider sheds light on how parents can approach treatment, set boundaries, and encourage healthy coping mechanisms.
