Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter is covered by PeachCare. She has a problem with OCD and delusional issues. Washes her hands and her feet 30 - 50 times a day lies constantly, and I sees things that are not really happening believes there s bugs crawling on her. I m looking for help that my insurance will cover but not just someone who s going to give her medicine and leave her on her own. I believe this needs to be more in-depth care what do you think
Hai
* OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) falls under neurotic disorder, Delusion falls under Psychotic disorder
*if both coexists --- then which comes fisrst ?,which is predominant ? matters
*In both cases treatment options include
1.Exposure & response prevention therapy
2. Antidepressent(SSRI)
3.Antipsychotic if delusion presents
before that get a Neurologist opinion to rule out any organicity
thank you
