Nathalie Gingras: Obsessive Compulsive Behaviour

Universit Laval Dept: But that s at odds with what psychiatrists like Nathalie Gingras are finding, according to Montreal Gazette. Beyond ADHD, therapists are seeing 9-year-olds with anorexia, Gingras said, and 6-year-olds with obsessive compulsive behaviour and curiously, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ADHD seems to be the only mental-health issue diagnosed in schoolchildren, a child psychiatrist lamented Monday. I have patients as young as age 10, 11, 12, Gingras, of Universit Laval, told a conference on Canadian and Quebec mental-health policy. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
