My 6 year old daughter has developed signs of OCD which are becoming more frequent and distressing for her. She's always been worried about her body and needs a lot of reassurance that normal things are normal and happen to everyone (wobbly teeth, cuts, blue veins etc). After Easter, she became obsessed about poisonous plants after touching a foxglove which led to her wahsing her hands a lot, not touching anything in the house that might have been 'poisoned', like her bedroom carpet, towel, teddies and even me. She started washing her hands more frequently and putting water or feet to clean the poison. It seemed to settle a bit over summer but the last few weeks it's really ramped up and shifted towards feeling like her body is covered in slime from a zombie. She spent 90 mins at bedtime getting up to wash her hands, wet her feet and legs etc. This morning she was all dressed the took everything off to do the same multiple times. She's so upset and says she knows its not normal but she can't help it. She says she wishes she didn't have all these worries and quite honestly, it breaks my heart. We've talked about worries being in control and its the worries and not really her that tell her to wash etc. If it keeps going like this, we'll need help but just not sure where to go. Distraction works for a while. I've spoken to school who said they've not seen any of the behaviour; it all comes out at home especially if she's tired. Visit the GP? Are there any NHS services that deal with this in a 6 year old that can be accessed quickly? Am I better off finding someone private? Any help much appreciated.
