This paper provides an overview of pharmacological interventions for pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder, noting that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are the initial approach while clomipramine is limited by tolerability. It discusses antipsychotic augmentation and glutamate modulating agents as options for treatment-resistant cases, emphasizing caution regarding side effects. The resource is intended to outline the evidence supporting these medication strategies for children and adolescents.
