Anxiety, Tics, OCD—And Some New Answers
It is now estimated that more than 20 percent of American children and teens have at least one mental, behavioral, or emotional health condition. Among the most common of these mental health challenges are anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (or OCD). In this episode, Dr. Joe McGuire, director of psychology for the Developmental Behavioral Health Program at Kennedy Krieger, discusses cognitive behavior therapy and other non-pharmacological ways that children are being treated for anxiety, OCD and other conditions—and to good success. Dr. Brad Schlaggar, president and CEO of Kennedy Krieger, is the episode host.
