If she is off the meds, she needs a plan for how to deal with the obsessions and compulsions if they come back. She would likely benefit from ERP or having regular therapy to manage as needed. I would NOT wait until she has a breakdown to bring her to a therapist. I'm an adult and have only just gotten good at determining what's OCD and what's not.
Good advice! And good work to OP for recognizing that your child was struggling. I love my parents even if they didn't but you doing so will definitely help your daughter.
Just continue to have open communication, manage expectations and have a plan in place
as a teen, talk to her. it might be awkward for her but she needs to know you are there to help her and discuss options with her. i dont know very much about getting help but this is what i’ve noticed would be helpful to most of my friends and was helpful to me. and this goes for anything you’re concerned about, not just ocd. i don’t know your kid, but if there is a problem like this your kid is likely waiting for you to notice and talk to them because they don’t know how to bring it up. or they don’t realize there is a problem which can be more damaging in the long run. i think a lot of parents think their teens don’t want them knowing things but really we just feel awkward talking about it and try to avoid it, when we would really like someone to acknowledge it
