Epidemiology
OCD in children and adolescents often goes unrecognized and undiagnosed due to its idiosyncratic, not always obvious nature.
- Point prevalence of pediatric OCD is 0.25% (British study 5-15 y.o., Heyman I, IntRevPsych 2003);
- Overall pediatric prevalence rate is 1-2% (USA studies, Apter A, JAACAP 1996)
- Incidence of OCD peaks during two developmental periods, pre-adolescents, and young adults (mean 20 y.o.). (Geller D, March J, Practice Parameter, JAACAP 2012)
