Merve Köksal, Ali Evren Tufan, Gökçe Koçak.


Abstract
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by intrusive, repetitive and persistent thoughts, impulses and images, and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals that the individual strictly implements to reduce anxiety about the consequences of these thoughts, impulses and images (1).The literature on children and adolescents diagnosed with OCD with atypical symptoms and complaints is limited, but the available data suggest that atypical appearances can be caused by obsessions of non-physical contamination/transformation (e.g. personality traits, habits, emotions) and problems with sensory regulation (smell, touch, taste, sound, etc.) (2,3). In this study, the evaluation and treatment process of an adolescent with sensory regulation problems and atypical obsessions is presented.

Key words: Adolescent, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Sensory Regulation, OCD, Pediatric
