NIMH: Half of Adults With Anxiety Disorders Had Psychiatric Diagnoses in Youth
Half of Adults With Anxiety Disorders Had Psychiatric Diagnoses in Youth
Though I found this interesting;
“Adults with obsessive-compulsive disorders tended to have had delusional beliefs and hallucinations as children.”
Don’t most children have delusional beliefs? Maybe not. I sure did. But then I clearly had a form of OCD back then (scrupulosity). I don’t recall having hallucinations. Well there was that time I was really ill. I was about 4 or 5 and had extremely vivid hallucinations over a period of several days. Some were terrifying, some were entertaining. I remember them all. I had a doctor once theorize that what I was sick with was actually polio. I don’t know about that. I do have, apparently, a uh, distinctive, gait when I walk. I have often wondered if what I had was not PANDAS. It seems to fit and it was right around then that I started having what in retrospect was OCD.
