Subject: Re: Obsessive compulsive disorder
I have Lupus/RA. My daughter has OCD. She has awful bouts of anxiety and takes beta blockers. She also has CBT treatment. I don't think it's linked to RA. However i have read articles that OCD can be triggered in children by strep throats, and my daughter has always suffered with sore throats. She had to have her tonsils out, the doctor said they were a haven for bacteria. Some people think that autoimmune diseases are caused by infections and that has always seemed logical to me. Obviously genetics plays a part.
