Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a disorder that appears to be underdiagnosed and under treated, despite the evidence for effective treatments. There are variable estimates of OCD prevalence in the under-16s and published rates give little indication of age trends. This study aims to establish the prevalence and associates of OCD in young people aged 5-15 years. Its uses a nationwide (UK) epidemiological study of rates of psychiatric disorder in 5- to 15-year-olds. Concludes that although OCD is rare in young children, the rate increases towards the adult rates at puberty. Children with OCD have additional psychosocial disadvantage. The majority of the childhood cases identified in this survey appear to have been undetected and untreated.
