OCD and School Refusal

School refusal is an anxiety-driven avoidance symptom of OCD in students, often mistaken for defiance. Combatting it requires understanding the cause, home and school collaboration, and seeking specialized OCD treatment.

"I came to Bio Behavioral after years of being diagnosed from having neuroses to schizophrenia. It was there that I found people who understood me and helped me. They interviewed me at length and knew I had OCD. A care plan was implemented and they were with them every step of my journey. Everyone there on the team had studied OCD and knew how to diagnose and treat. I can never thank Bio Behavioral enough”
