Patient's question:
My child is five years old. He doesn't like to compete or be overly competitive, is very obedient, and has poor memory—he can't remember a single line of ancient poetry even after repeating it dozens of times. He can watch TV all day at home without crying or making a fuss. When other children come over, he doesn't snatch toys away even if someone takes his, and instead goes off to play with something else. His expressive ability is very poor. I suspect he might have some intellectual issues.Doctor's answer:
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychological condition caused by psychological factors. OCD is a type of neurosis characterized primarily by obsessive symptoms (mainly including obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors) as its main clinical manifestations. It belongs to early-stage mental illness and can be treated with psychological interventions, which can be somewhat effective. We know that neurological diseases in children can cause significant harm to children. If they are not treated promptly or if the treatment methods are incorrect, the condition can progress rapidly, causing great harm to children. Therefore, it is essential to seek professional medical treatment at a specialized hospital in a timely manner. This is the key.
