Until around two decades ago, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) was thought to be a relatively uncommon condition. Since then, researchers have made significant progress in comprehending the many components of OCD. It is a disabling and distressing disorder that strikes in the late twenties or early thirties. Symptoms, on the other hand, can occur as early as two years into the first decade. OCD in very young children can be reliably identified, despite the fact that it is uncommon and plagued with diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Join us as Dr. Manjiri Deshpande, the director of the ICGC-Indlas Child Guidance Clinic, discusses how to manage OCD in children.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in Children

There is often nothing about how people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) look that sets them apart from other people, but people with ASD may communicate, interact, behave, and learn in ways that are different from most other people. The learning, thinking, and problem-solving abilities of people with ASD can range from gifted to severely challenged. Some people with ASD need a lot of help in their daily lives; others need less. A diagnosis of ASD now includes several conditions that used to be diagnosed separately: autistic disorder, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), and Asperger syndrome. These conditions are now all called autism spectrum disorder. Lets understand in detail about the condition and some interesting management aspects.
