Need some advice for my nephew

Hello all:

My nephew (age 11 or so) was just diagnosed with anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (he washes his hands constantly), and panic attacks. My family who is not AT ALL open to the spiritual / metaphysical side to this is talking about medicating him. I am pretty sure my brother (his father) would really like to see an alternative to that. Does anyone out there have any suggestions for (1) type of therapy (keeping in mind that any sort of "new age" method will weird my family out) and (2) natural remedies for this type of thing.

I recommended that my brother see a naturopath and at a minimum have his vitamin and mineral levels checked. Not sure what else to do.

Blessings and thank you!

Chris
