DearWelcome to ChatDoctorWe understand your concerns went through your details. ADHD and OCD usually comes with impulsive disorders and that is the diagnosis of your child. They don't need to steal, and they seldom use the stolen things, but they do it out of impulse. That is part of Obsessive behavior pattern. If your daughter is being treated for her OCD and ADHD, just intimate this matter too to the psychiatrist, and he will take care of it. Secondly, a combination of psychiatric Chat Doctor.  Please ask for your psychiatrists' opinion about the combination. If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http
