Abstract

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can be a disabling condition for children, adolescents, and their families. The majority of children and adolescents with OCD have poor academic functioning and a comorbid diagnosis. Many patients will respond with exposure and response prevention therapy. However, for those who are unable, unwilling, or do not fully respond to conservative treatment, it is essential that advanced practice nurses are able to appropriately evaluate and prescribe for OCD in their young patients.
