A new review shows that Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is effective for pediatric Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). CBT can reduce distress and interfering symptoms among children and adolescents with OCD, and reduce the risk of relapse. CBT is effective by itself, and is also effective with medication, more so than medication alone. This review evaluated four separate studies, which were all randomized controlled trials of CBT for OCD.
