About

Tal Shilton’s research sits at the intersection of child psychiatry and neuropsychology, with a particular focus on rare and complex presentations of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In their most cited work, a 2025 case study, Shilton explores the co-existence of Capgras syndrome—a delusional belief that a loved one has been replaced by an imposter—and OCD in children. This contribution is notable for its rarity; few studies have documented this comorbidity in pediatric populations, making Shilton’s work a critical reference for clinicians and researchers. With 2 citations in a niche area, the paper has already sparked interest in understanding how delusional misidentification syndromes intersect with compulsive behaviors. Shilton’s broader research agenda advances our understanding of childhood-onset psychiatric disorders, particularly where psychotic and obsessive symptoms overlap. Their work is essential reading for those studying atypical OCD presentations and the neurodevelopmental underpinnings of delusion formation.
