Perceptual Study in BDD, OCD and Controls
At the Bio-Behavioral Institute we are studying how accurately OCD and BDD patients perceive their appearances. A computerized program is utilized in this study. Patients who are interested in finding out how they think, feel and perceive their looks would need to allow us to photograph them and answer a few questions. It will require about 30-60 minutes of their time. Feedback will be provided.
Anyone interested please call Natalie, Great Neck, Long Island (516) 487-7116.

OCD Treatment Study for Children and Adolescents
If your child or teen (ages 7-17) is suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, he or she may be able to participate in a research study at the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, MD. We are investigating the medication riluzole which has been reported to benefit adults with OCD or depression. We expect that riluzole will decrease Obsessive-Compulsive symptoms in children and adolescents.
Children with a primary diagnosis of OCD, who reside within commuting distance of Bethesda, MD, may be eligible. Children will receive a one-day comprehensive psychiatric and medical evaluation, and follow-up visits every two weeks for 3 months, and at 4, 6, and 12 months. There is no charge to participate; travel assistance is provided.
Dr. Paul Grant, MD, a child and adolescent psychiatrist, is the Principal Investigator. For further information please contact Lorraine Lougee, LCSW-C at 301-435-6652 or Matthew Hirschtritt at 301-496-5323, or email OCDNIMH@intra.nimh.nih.gov.
