And while much is known about co-occurrences of depression and anxiety, the relationship between depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is not well-explored, despite depression being common in those with OCD. This study investigates the differences in symptoms between depressed youth with no comorbidities, depressed youth with anxiety, and depressed youth with OCD. Depressed youth with comorbid anxiety or OCD had higher depression severity, irritability, and insomnia. Similarly, those with comorbid OCD or anxiety had lower physical functioning, resilience, and greater difficulty in school. Further research is needed on the unique challenges presented by the comorbidity of OCD and depression.\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERiddle, D.

In this study, the depression severity of participants (measured by PHQ-A) with comorbid OCD and MDD was compared to those with MDD but no OCD. The statistical analyses revealed that the youth with a combination of MDD and OCD had more severe MDD and more of them dealt with moderate to severe depression (75%) compared to their MDD-only counterparts (61%). Additionally, those with comorbid OCD also reported lower levels of anhedonia (loss of pleasure from things one used to enjoy) and more severe psychomotor issues. These findings point to the unique combination of symptoms in youth with comorbid mental health disorders, stressing the importance of accounting for these comorbidities when approaching symptom monitoring and treatment.\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EStrouphauer, E., Valenzuela-Flores, C., Minhajuddin, A., Slater, H., Riddle, D.
