Abstract

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) experienced in childhood or adolescence is often a chronic disorder with high subjective distress and impairment of family and social functioning. An early comprehensive intervention schedule can have a profound effect on outcome in later years. The clinical manifestations of OCD among children and adolescents do not seem to be inherently different from those of adult patients. In younger subjects, the clinical picture tends to be dominated by compulsions, and insight can be poor, with little recognition of the symptoms as a problem.There is often a shift in symptoms over time, with some symptoms being replaced by others, while in adults, the core obsessions and compulsions tend to be more stable. In addition to depression and anxiety disorders, the spectrum of comorbid psychopathology seen in pediatric OCD patients includes tic, disruptive behavior, and specific developmental disorders. The treatment of childhood and adolescent OCD relies on cognitive-behavioral techniques of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapeutic interventions similar to those recommended in adults. The efficacy of exposure and response prevention in pediatric OCD has been shown in numerous open studies, and four controlled trials. Pharmacotherapy relies on serotonergic medication, and all have been demonstrated to be significantly superior to placebo, as reported in a recently published meta-analysis. Current concerns with the use of SSRIs in children and adolescents were explored as regards OCD and anxiety disorders, and there is no evidence for an increase in suicide or related behaviors.
