Understanding OCD in Children
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can show up in childhood in ways that are confusing or distressing—for both children and parents. Many families spend years searching for answers, and research shows that children wait an average of 2.5 years before receiving an accurate evaluation for OCD. For adults, this can take much longer. Early recognition and evidence-based treatment make a tremendous difference in recovery and quality of life.
The International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) offers outstanding, research-based resources for parents and professionals who want to learn more about OCD symptoms, treatment, and family support. If you suspect your child may be struggling with OCD, you’re not alone—and help is available.
