Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in children and adolescents is apparently a much more common disorder than previously believed. The literature on OCD in children and adolescents is reviewed, and OCD is described as a severe disorder with a poor prognosis for about half of the patients. The clinical picture seems to be the same across different cultures. The most common symptoms are obsessions about dirt and contamination and washing rituals.
儿童和青少年的强迫症（OCD）显然是一种比之前认为的更为常见的疾病。本文综述了有关儿童和青少年强迫症的文献，并将强迫症描述为一种严重的疾病，约半数患者预后不佳。不同文化背景下的临床表现似乎相同。最常见的症状是对污垢和污染的强迫观念以及洗涤仪式。
