Need Help, But Prefer
To Talk Later?
The rehab I went to was really good. I went to Avery's House. It was welcoming, accepting, and they really do care about us. It was literally a house so it didn't feel like a hospital or treatment center at all. 
As many as 1 in 200 children and teens will experience OCD in their lifetime
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a stressful cycle of obsessions, anxiety and compulsions (or rituals) that can disrupt every area of a teen’s life. The more rituals are practiced, the stronger OCD gets. The good news is that it’s treatable, and Avery’s House can help.

What causes OCD?
Like other mental health disorders, there is no definitive cause of OCD. A person can develop compulsive behaviors to cope with the anxiety & stress of obsessions. Risk factors that may increase your child’s risk of developing OCD include:
- Genetics
- Stressful or traumatic event
- Learned fears and behaviors from a family member
- Age and gender
