Hi Dan,
I just recently joined your blog and this post caught me right away. My son was diagnosed with O.C.D. three years ago. He has had cognitive behavioral therapy, and it really does work! The O.C.D. was very sad and scary when it began. His brain was throwing him all sorts of crazy curve balls. He has learned some great techniques for dealing with it, and he is a happy kid again. The main thing is to not let the anxiety win. It's a greedy disorder, and when you give in to the anxiety it will just keep requiring more and more of you. There is a genetic component to anxiety disorders so getting some tools to help yourself with this will really help you later if you see Noah starting to struggle. Peace! -Angie
