Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how children's level of insight affects their obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related psychiatric features.
- Findings showed a high prevalence of OCD in first-born children, with low insight linked to intellectual disabilities and high insight associated with other OCD spectrum disorders.
- The research concluded that understanding pediatric OCD is complicated by the level of insight, suggesting that insight should be viewed on a spectrum rather than as a fixed trait.
