There are many reasons one can have OCD including genetics, compounded anxiety, trauma and PANS/PANDAS or autoimmune enteropathy.</p><p id="9959" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mu mv gu mw b mx my mz na nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr gn bk">Infections or toxins can cause an unexpected onset of the disease, leaving parents overwhelmed and frightened. When a child develops obsessions and compulsions out of nowhere, parents often wonder if they are “insane” or experiencing psychosis.</p><p id="8f57" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mu mv gu mw b mx my mz na nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr gn bk">Once parents recognize their child has OCD, the next hurdle is finding the right treatment for children’s OCD. While you may think psychiatric medication is the only or even best option for your child who has obsessions and compulsions, it isn’t. The key to tackling OCD is calming the brain and addressing the behaviors that form due to a negative reinforcement cycle in the brain.</p><p id="acb9" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mu mv gu mw b mx my mz na nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr gn bk">Here is a list of treatment options backed by scientific evidence for parents seeking natural solutions. This list of natural and effective treatments for OCD does not involve the use of OCD medications that could negatively affect their child’s brain development.</p><h1 id="d2c3" class="ns nt gu bf nu nv nw nx ny nz oa ob oc od oe of og oh oi oj ok ol om on oo op bk">1. Neurofeedback</h1><p id="deda" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mu mv gu mw b mx oq mz na nb or nd ne nf os nh ni nj ot nl nm nn ou np nq nr gn bk">An OCD child can be moved to a relaxed, parasympathetic state by using <a class="af ov" href="https://drroseann.com/neurofeedback-overview/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong class="mw gv">neurofeedback</strong></a>. As a result, the child with OCD begins to think differently and to take positive actions. OCD children can’t think, pay attention, or take action to stop their OCD behaviors if their nervous system is stressed and hyper-activated. They get trapped in obsessive and repetitive thoughts and behaviors due to stress-hijacked brains.</p><p id="a3ea" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mu mv gu mw b mx my mz na nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr gn bk">It is powerful to use neurofeedback therapy for severe OCD because it subconsciously calms the central nervous system, so the child is not constantly on alert. Neurofeedback also directly targets areas in the brain that are contributing to OCD behaviors. Pairing neurofeedback with psychotherapy and coaching will help children manage their unwanted thoughts and persistent fears.</p><p id="eacb" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mu mv gu mw b mx my mz na nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr gn bk">It is easier for a child to respond to stimuli when their nervous system is calm and not so stuck fear. It means fewer obsessions, compulsions, and irritable, angry behavior. With clear thinking and engaged behaviors, the child can act and think freely without getting stuck.</p><p id="f82f" class="pw-post-body-paragraph mu mv gu mw b mx my mz na nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk nl nm nn no np nq nr gn bk">It becomes easier to understand how the OCD brain is overstimulated or understimulated using QEEG Brain Map data. OCD, however, can also cause under-stimulation in the brain when associated with other clinical conditions such as PANS/PANDAS.</p><h1 id="f69b" class="ns nt gu bf nu nv nw nx ny nz oa ob oc od oe of og oh oi oj ok ol om on oo op bk">2.
