Childhood-Onset Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Abstract
The clinical presentation of OCD in children and adolescents is quite similar to that in adults, with overlapping obsessional content and compulsive ritualistic patterns. In addition, both age groups provide essentially identical descriptions of the anxiety accompanying their compulsions and invoke similar mechanisms to resist acting out the ritualistic behavior. Responses to behavioral treatment and pharmacotherapy are similar across ages, and the disorder appears to be chronic and unremitting in the studied populations whether its onset is in childhood or adulthood. Conversely, the strong familial influence, male predominance, neuroendocrine abnormalities, presence of tics and other neurologic abnormalities, and possible impact on personality development suggest that pediatric OCD has important differences from its adult counterpart. Further investigations of these unique features of childhood-onset OCD are warranted and may provide etiologic clues to the disorder.

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.
