Obsessive compulsive disorder in children and adolescents.
During 1992, further progress has been made in determining the incidence of obsessive compulsive disorder and change in symptoms over time. Advances have been made in determining what category of mood disorder obsessive compulsive disorders belong to; contributions have been made in the theoretic understanding of the cause of obsessive compulsive disorder, and why it may be associated with trichotillomania and Tourette's syndrome. Finally, the treatment of children with both medication and behavior therapy has been explored.
