Natural treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorders

[Guest guest]

My 12 year old daughter has been diagnosed with an Obsessive Compulsive

Disorder called trichotillomania. With trichotillomania, she pulls out

her hair due to the stress that she encounters (school, peer pressure,

etc.). Her doctor suggests that medication may be an option. I don't

know about you but the anti depressant medications (Prozac, etc.) scare

the hell out of me! From what I've been researching, it seems the

medication does not help and sometimes the symptoms can worsen. I have

been researching some natural alternatives that have been used with

people who have trichotillomania, but I really don't know much about

them. I have found four natural ways: 1) Marjoram leaves 2) Kava

Kava 3) Chamomile tea 4) Natracalm. I have read that Kava Kava

should only be taken by people who are 18 and up. I have also read

where some people have found Natracalm to be a very effective natural

way to relieve the stress. Any further input would be greatly

appreiated.

 

Thank you,
