The study explored the link between poor insight, avoidance behavior, and not-just-right sensations in children and adolescents with OCD, focusing on their baseline characteristics and treatment outcomes.
Avoidance behavior and poor insight were found to heighten baseline severity of OCD, while not-just-right sensations were more related to specific OCD subtypes.
Post-treatment results indicated that poor insight and avoidance behavior hindered remission and increased the need for more treatment sessions, suggesting that understanding these factors can guide better treatment strategies.
