I'm not writing in response to your letter.....im sorry. But im a mom trying to "diagnose" her daughter. My daughter has adhd and is 17....she will be 18 on october 14th. I know she has adhd...shes on aderall. But i also think she may be ocd. I dont want to put another "label" on her, but need to know. The only thing that troubles me about ocd is she doesnt count things. But she is obsessed with her boyfriend...always thinking he is cheating, or dont love her. She is obsessed with diseases and every month checks if she is pregnant. She is on the pill and her and her b/f use condoms. She always thinks foods or things are bad, and always ask me things like " if i shave and get bumps is that a disease or cancer?" She used to ask a lot of questions like that when she was younger. She would ask if leftovers were bad and could she get sick. Is this ocd or something else? I just want to treat her for the right illness. She blames everyone for her problems. she is not at fault ever! Please i beg you... help me. APRIL
