A member asked:

If you have ocd and are 14, would that cause you to act up in school? i have ocd.

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Not necessarily: It would be best to get a comprehensive evaluation by a child and adolescent psychiatrist. There are many reasons kids can "act out" in school whether or not they have ocd.
