Rising Above OCD: Carter's Story
Carter began showing symptoms of OCD in the first grade, and those symptoms eventually progressed over time to become debilitating. After learning about Rogers Behavioral Health's history of helping people rise above severe OCD, Carter's parents were able to get him admitted to Rogers' residential OCD care for adolescents, and four months later he went back home with tools to help him overcome his OCD challenges, and earned a full-ride scholarship to college majoring in Mechanical Engineering.
