The Mean

Aims and MethodA naturalistic study was conducted to examine the outcome on self-report and observer-rated measures in patients with severe, chronic, resistant obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) admitted to a specialised in-patient unit.ResultsTwenty-six patients were admitted over the study period. The mean age of all patients was 37 years (s.d.=13.8, range 18–61 years) and they had a mean duration of OCD of 18.4 years (s.d.=10.9, range 4–40 years). Instruments measuring severity demonstrated a 37–67% reduction in obsessive–compulsive symptoms and a 64% reduction in depressive symptoms after an average of almost 15 weeks in hospital.Clinical ImplicationsThis study demonstrates that specialised in-patient care can benefit a small group of severely ill patients with OCD who fail to respond to treatment in primary and secondary care.

Long Duration

Paediatric obsessive compulsive disorder [OCD] is a chronic condition often associated with severe disruptions of family functioning and key developmental milestones. Mean age of onset of juvenile OCD is between 10 and 11 years; however, studies on young children with OCD show that the disorder can manifest itself much earlier. OCD is characterized by a long duration of untreated illness, which, together with an earlier age of onset, has been associated with increased persistence. Although there are disease-specific treatments for OCD, there seems to be difficulty for health professionals to recognize and diagnose the disorder in young children appropriately. This may prolong the interval between help seeking and receiving an adequate diagnosis and treatment. The objective of this review is to give an overview of studies on the clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of OCD in very young children.
