  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Childhood obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic and disabling condition affecting 2-3% of the population.
  • Historically neglected, OCD in youth has gained research attention, revealing significant understanding advancements.
  • OCD shares consistent characteristics across age groups, including prevalence, presentation, causes, and treatment response.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of childhood OCD.
  • To highlight advances in research and treatment for pediatric OCD.
  • To discuss the impact of comorbidities on treatment and outcomes.
