Obsessive-compulsive disorders are very damaging illnesses; they can already appear in childhood and adolescence and become extremely chronic. With an average prevalence from 1-3%, they are among the most common psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents. 40% of diagnosed children and young adults display persistent and increasingly chronic symptoms and O-C disorders are highly complex syndromes with broadly varying manifestations. They arise from obsessive thoughts (ideas/thoughts or impulses, often senseless or tortured, that impose themselves or intrude) and obsessive behavior (ritualized patterns that must be frequently repeated).
367 studies on the registry are indexed under Compulsive Personality Disorder; 67 are open to participants now.
