Refuah Shelaima to your son.
I would like to raise a few points:
1) Aggression and tantrums aren’t symptoms of OCD. Do you notice anxieties, rumination, and other known OCD symptoms.
2) It is wise to be wary of baalei shita, people who are quick to attribute any symptom to their pet diagnosis. I don’t know who this doctor is and she probably is very smart and well meaning. However, it’s wise to be cautious
of something that’s not accepted by the wider medical community.
3) CBT and ERP, though difficult, are well researched treatments. A good psychologist is needed and may be hard to find. However, they are known to be successful. Hatzlacha
