Abstract
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder of heterogeneous phenomenology and its onset follows a bimodal pattern. The onset of OCD can be very early or late. The clinical presentation, co-morbidities as well as treatment outcomes are affected by the age of onset of obsessive compulsive disorder. The most accepted explanatory model to explain OCD is bio-psycho-social model, which explains the interplay of biological, psychological as well as social factors in the causation of OCD. In this case report, a rare case of very early onset OCD in an adolescent boy with co-morbid agoraphobia where the onset of OCD was as early as infancy is being discussed.
