Understanding Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders and Related Conditions
- The DSM-5 diagnoses include Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), hoarding disorder, trichotillomania, excoriation disorder, and disorders due to substances or medication.
- OCD is characterized by recurrent, intrusive thoughts causing anxiety and interfering with daily life, along with ritualistic behaviors to neutralize anxiety.
- OCD is diagnosed when obsessions and compulsions significantly interfere with personal, social, and occupational functions.
- Excoriation disorder (skin-picking) and trichotillomania (hair-pulling) are self-soothing behaviors causing distress and functional impairment.
- BDD involves preoccupation with an imagined defect in physical appearance, leading to distress and interference with daily functioning.
- Hoarding disorder is a progressive, debilitating, compulsive disorder with a prevalence of 2-5% in the population, characterized by excessive acquisition of items and cluttered living spaces.
- Hoarding can become a health and safety hazard, compromising the person’s quality of life.
- Trichotillomania commonly starts in childhood and may persist into adulthood, affecting more females than males.
- Excoriation disorder can lead to medical complications and loss of occupational functioning.
- Treatment for these disorders may involve medication, surgery, psychiatry, and alternative therapies such as yoga and acupuncture.
