Assessing and Treating OCD and Anxiety Disorders: A Look Across the Lifespan
Practice, Research & Resources With McLean Hospital
May 2022
Anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD) are common mental health conditions that present differently from person to person. Individuals living with these diagnoses can benefit from specific behavioral interventions that allow for full functioning despite their diagnoses. Yet patients are often misdiagnosed and frequently receive treatment that does not allow for effective symptom management.
During this free presentation, the speakers discuss anxiety and OCD disorders across the developmental spectrum, leaving you with a clear understanding of the clinical presentation of these conditions and effective treatment interventions for their diagnosis.
