Study Notes
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), and Hoarding Disorder Overview
- OCD involves behaviors or mental acts aimed at reducing anxiety or preventing dreaded events, which are not realistically connected and cause significant distress or impairment.
- OCD is believed to be a brain disorder characterized by low serotonin, causing difficulty in differentiating between important information and intrusive thoughts.
- Insight into obsessions with OCD varies: good/fair insight, poor insight, and absent insight/delusional beliefs.
- The prevalence of OCD is approximately 1% in the general population, with a similar female-to-male ratio, but males may start experiencing symptoms earlier.
- Comorbidity is common in OCD, with 76% having a lifetime diagnosis of anxiety disorders before OCD, and 41% having a lifetime diagnosis of major depressive disorder after OCD.
- In OCD, engaging with the content of obsessions, providing reassurance, and distraction alone do not work effectively.
- BDD involves a preoccupation with perceived defects in physical appearance, causing distress or impairment, and often leads to compulsive behaviors like mirror checking and reassurance-seeking.
- The prevalence of BDD is around 1-2% in community samples, with a high risk of suicide among those with BDD.
- BDD is over-represented in certain populations, such as 2-13% of student samples, and 9-15% among dermatology patients.
- Hoarding disorder involves persistent difficulty discarding possessions, leading to clutter and congestion, and is often accompanied by excessive acquisition of items.
- Insight into hoarding disorder varies: good/fair insight, poor insight, and absent/delusional beliefs.
- The prevalence of hoarding disorder is 2-5%, nearly double the rates of OCD, and it is associated with a small percentage of fires in residences.
