Abstract

Author(s):

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition that can significantly impact a child’s daily life, development, and overall well-being. While OCD is often associated with adults, it can also manifest in children, presenting unique challenges for diagnosis and treatment. Understanding the nature of OCD in children is crucial for parents, educators, and healthcare providers to provide the necessary support and interventions.
