This study sought to examine possible differences in phenomenological features and/or symptom severity of children diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and a comorbid grooming condition (i.e., skin picking and trichotillomania). A total of 202 children receiving a primary diagnosis of OCD were classified into two distinct groups: (1) OCD alone (n = 154) and (2) OCD plus a comorbid grooming condition (OCD + grooming; n = 48). Analyses revealed that those children presenting with a comorbid grooming condition demonstrated different symptom profiles than those with OCD alone. In addition, parents of these children were more likely to report the presence of tactile/sensory sensitivity than those in the OCD alone group. However, no differences were found with respect to symptom severity via self-report (e.g., OCI) or semi-structured interview (e.g., CY-BOCS). Possible clinical and treatment implications, future areas of research, and limitations to the present study are discussed.
