title: The treatment of children with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
abstract: Very little is known about the treatment of children with an obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). No controlled studies have been conducted into the effects of behaviour therapy or other kinds of psychotherapy. There have only been three studies into the effects of antidepressants. After providing some general information on OCD, this article discusses the possibilities, effects and some of the difficulties of treatment.
