My 8 year old daughter for the last few years is getting worse. She worries about death all the time. Now she is repeitive in saying" I love you mom." a hundred times a day. Especially I love you til you die. She can actually tell u how many times she has said it in a day, for each person she has said it to. I dont know what to do? She is afraid of going around alot of people, especially school..she scries to go and to come home on the bus. She has been seeing a school counselor. So u recommend she sees a medical professional. Ohand she says she hears voices.
This is absolutely something a professional psychiatrist needs to work with you on. I would not hesitate to take my child, given the symptoms you've mentioned, especially hearing voices.
Another vote for seeing a psychiatrist. Our son has OCD and medical help has made a huge difference.
Welcome to mamapedia, so sorry to hear your daughter seems so distressed.
I do encourage you to set up an evaluation with a Psychiatrist ASAP.
I'd have gone to see a psychiatrist already, she has issues that don't seem to fall in the normal spectrum for an 8 year old.
OCD is an anxiety disorder.
It can also be a symptom of bipolar or schizophrenia.
If I were you, I'd ask her pediatrician for the name of a good psychiatrist.
Discuss it with her pediatrician. S/He can point you in the right direction.
Good luck.
