New App for Treating OCD and Anxiety

If you’re the concerned parent of a child or teenager with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), you may be interested to learn that there’s an app specially designed to aid those with the condition. The app, called “Live OCD Free,” includes a number of tips and suggestions for how to fight compulsions and practice healthy habits.

Live OCD Free even allows users to specify which behaviors they want to work on changing so they can actively reduce anxiety.

An electronic, portable treatment may be ideal for a busy teenager or a child who enjoys technology. For now, it is recommended that the app be used in combination with some form of therapy to treat OCD.
