Summary

This study tests a two-week intensive summer treatment program for 70 adolescents aged 12-18 with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in Iceland. The program uses daily cognitive-behavioral therapy with exposure and response prevention in a group setting. Researchers will measure changes in OCD symptoms, executive function, anxiety, and daily functioning to see if this short, focused approach helps teens manage their condition.
