OCD in Children: When Quirks Become Compulsions
Every child has their own routines and habits, but when do these behaviors cross the line into something more? Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in children is more than just a preference for order or cleanliness—it’s a condition driven by anxiety and compulsions that can disrupt daily life. In this blog, we break down the signs of OCD in kids, how to differentiate between normal habits and compulsions, and what parents can do to support their child. From understanding the causes to exploring effective treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), this guide provides essential insights to help children manage OCD and thrive.
