Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in Children and Adolescents: Clinical Phenomenology of 70 Consecutive Cases

Swedo, Susan E.·1989·Archives of General Psychiatry

Abstract

We reviewed the phenomenology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in 70 consecutive children and adolescents studied prospectively at the National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, Md, between 1977 and 1987. There is striking similarity between the clinical presentation of OCD in children and in adult patients. Washing, grooming, and checking rituals and/or preoccupation with disease, danger, and doubt account for the great majority of cases. Twenty-five percent of subjects had a first-degree relative with OCD. The fixed content and style of symptoms within and across subjects, and the identical presentation across a wide age range, suggest an ethological model for OCD.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
