Diagnosis Can Be Tricky

There are frequent and well known comorbid conditions that accompany or precede OCD in children which can complicate diagnosis.[1] The most frequent of these are:

depression

separation anxiety disorder

generalised anxiety disorder (GAD)

tic disorders

eating disorders.

In addition, there are a number of other conditions which, although they can be diagnosed along with OCD, should be differentiated from the specific manifestations of OCD (see table 1).
