I'm looking for clarification. This book looks fascinating, and I may just
but it. My question is about "become adults with OCD". Is this in
reference to obsessive compulsive disorder?
We have family with obsessive compulsive disorder. Our son - exclusively bf
for 7 1/2 months, in a sling for years, family bed, - had symptoms of OCD at
2 years - diagnosed at 9, off his pills at 12. His father has OCD, too.
Aren't genetics great? lol
I don't see the relation to crying it out. Maybe I'll have to read the book
