Know the Symptoms - OCD

Today is the start of our Know the Symptoms campaign which aims to show and tell what the symptoms of PANDAS look like. PANDAS presents as a number of different symptoms, but not every child will present every one nor will they look the same in every child. During this campaign, we are going to have a look at some of the most common symptoms so that when presented someone can know and recognize the symptoms of PANDAS! OCD: "Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder in which time people have recurring, unwanted thoughts, ideas or sensations (obsessions) that make them feel driven to do something repetitively (compulsions). The repetitive behaviours, such as hand washing, checking on things or cleaning, can significantly interfere with a person’s daily activities and social interactions." - www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/ocd/what-is-obsessive-compulsive-disorder #pandas #pans #knowthesymptoms #ocd #stolenchildhood ----------------- Watch Stolen Childhood: www.stolenchildhood.wixsite.com/stolenchildhood/watch Facebook:   / stolenchildhood2018
