Obsessive-compulsive Disorder

Descripción

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is one of the most common psychiatric problems faced by children, although frequently not diagnosed or treated. Many children diagnosed with OCD also turn out to have other brain-based disorders, particularly ADD/ADHD. Childhood OCD can be a truly debilitating disability, not just a minor problem or personality quirk. Children with OCD experience extreme anxiety and embarrassment. Their OCD symptoms often prevent them from building good relationships, from achieving their best in school, and from having a normal childhood. The effects of this disruption can be painful and lifelong. The good news is that OCD is very treatable. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder helps parents: secure a diagnosis, manage family life, understand medical interventions, explore therapeutic and other interventions, and get care with an existing health plan, even with no coverage of "mental disorders". Author Mitzi Waltz, an advocate for children's neurological issues, has included the stories of dozens of parents and adolescents.
