What Are the Signs of OCD in Children?
Obsessive compulsive disorder, also known as OCD, is a psychiatric anxiety disorder that is characterized by obsessions that are continuous and repeated and are often rooted in disturbing thoughts about fears and anxieties. The obsessive thoughts lead to compulsions, which are attempts to relieve the anxiety by performing an action or ritual repeatedly. Some signs of OCD in children can include behavior issues such as tantrums, difficulty concentrating, and spending an extremely long time on simple tasks such as dressing.
