OCD Study

We are examining the causes of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) by looking at the relationship between OCD, the brain, and genetic factors.
We are recruiting sibling pairs between 8 and 65 years of age, where only one sibling has OCD. We are most interested in referrals of children and adolescents 6 to 14 years old. The 1-day study involves a structured interview, psychological testing, a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan, and a small blood draw.
