Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (“OCD”) is on the rise in our youth due, in part, to anxiety, isolation and concerns from the Covid-19 pandemic. This environment has triggered increased symptoms in adolescents with existing OCD symptoms and has brought on compulsive behaviors in new groups of youth. OCD is now one of the more common psychiatric disorders.
