Childhood Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder - 04/02/23
Résumé |
Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) frequently affects children and adolescents, with most cases beginning during this time. Symptoms of OCD in youth may present as exaggerated developmental concerns and excessive ritualistic behavior beyond what is part of normal development, yet low levels of insight may prevent recognition. Affected youth commonly have comorbid neurodevelopmental diagnoses, especially males. Early detection and intervention are critical to recovery and remission, as well as family involvement in treatment. Cognitive behavioral therapy and serotonin reuptake inhibitors are first-line treatments.
