About

Y. Hochberg is a clinical researcher whose work bridges child psychiatry and neuropsychology, with a particular focus on the intersection of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and rare delusional syndromes. Their most cited paper, "Co-existence of Capgras syndrome and OCD in children: Case studies" (2025), has garnered 2 citations—a notable figure for a recent publication in a niche area. This work provides the first detailed case reports of Capgras syndrome co-occurring with OCD in pediatric populations, challenging the assumption that such delusions are exclusive to adults or psychotic disorders. Hochberg’s contribution lies in documenting how obsessive-compulsive mechanisms may interact with misidentification syndromes, offering new insights for differential diagnosis and treatment. By highlighting these rare presentations, the research underscores the need for tailored therapeutic approaches in children with complex comorbidities. Hochberg’s work, though emerging, has already sparked interest among clinicians and researchers exploring the boundaries between anxiety disorders and psychosis. Their findings promise to inform future studies on the neurodevelopmental underpinnings of delusional beliefs, marking Hochberg as a rising voice in pediatric mental health.
