My child with OCD

I have a daughter with OCD. We kind of ignored it until it got really bad. What had happened one year, we had moved the kids to a new school. I guess anxiety and making new friends had new school had taken its toll. We had always knew that our daughter was kind of a clean freak but the story I am about to tell you becomes scary if you don’t action it right away.

Let me begin what started to happen:

1. First, our daughter kept her distance from her sister. Always sat away or moved when her sister was around. What was happening we found out later, she looked at her sister as a germ. If she cough or had the sniffles she would freak out.
2. Second sign, she was always washing her had constantly. Then she discovered the hand sanitizer and started using it. Her hand started to get all chappy and dry. Even our Scope (mouth wash would start to disappear at a fast pace.
3. Thirdly, she will be rude and tell people to stop doing certain things as she would get very annoyed. If you moved something of hers she would freak out.
4. Forth, her teacher called being all concerned at school as she was avoiding everyone. That speaks for itself.
   

Actions we took:
Well, the first thing we did is to see our family doctor. He then referred us to a child psychiatrist that specializes with child with these problems. We took her once a week for an hour session. So the first month it seemed to get worse. Nothing appeared to get better. We were asked to talk to her daily (my daughter) and work with the teacher.
