Resumen
CARMENATE RODRIGUEZ, Iris Dany. Particularities of obsessive - compulsive disorder in children and adolescents. Medicentro Electrónica [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.1, pp. 174-184. ISSN 1029-3043.
Obsessive disorder in children and adolescents, its peculiarities, forms of presentation and rituals of the disease itself interfere with its early diagnosis. Explaining clearly everything related to the disorder, its nature and procedures is necessary before medical intervention. Psychological distancing is indicated in young children where they are asked to externalize the symptoms by naming them as they wish. Recent studies have been described that cognitive- behavioral therapy turns out to be the treatment of choice in children and adolescents when their cognitive and emotional level allows it. In this research, the models involved in the etiopathogenesis that address neurobiology for the understanding of the disorder were explained. Orientations were provided for a better psychological and pharmacological treatment of the patients, and the recommended doses for this particular group were specified.
