A member asked:

Will treatment of ocd revive clarity of thought and/or intelligence and/or cognition, for 8 year old?

Dr. Ruth Seaman answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

PANS?: There should be no problems with clarity of thought or intelligence in a child with primary OCD. I would take that child in ASAP to a developmental pediatrician or child psychiatrist to evaluate for PANS.
