OCD is a neurological illness. Many children diagnosed with OCD also turn out to have other brain-based disorders  particularly attention deficit disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD\/ADHD). Psychiatrists sometimes categorize patients who have certain common OCD behaviors as \"counters \" \"cleaners \" \"checkers \" and \"hoarders.\"Childhood OCD can be a truly debilitating disability  not just a minor problem or personality quirk. Children with OCD experience extreme anxiety  embarrassment  sometimes even harassment  because of this disorder. Their OCD symptoms often prevent them from building good relationships  from achieving their best in school  and from having a normal childhood. The effects of this disruption can be painful and lifelong.The good news is that OCD is very treatable. With prompt  consistent intervention  most young people with OCD can wrest back control of their lives.
