Obsessive-Compulsive disorder (OCD) is a disorder prevalent in population across the world including India. In the present study we investigated OCD patients from Urban, Semi- rural and rural population in the state of West Bengal, India. Patients were evaluated for severity of OCD using the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) and Socio-Economic status using standard Indian scale. No positive correlation was found between the socio-economic status and severity of OCD.

And Coping

Cognitive-behavioral models of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) assign a central role to specific beliefs and coping strategies in the development, maintenance and exacerbation of obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms. These models also implicate perceptions of self and the world in the development and maintenance of OC phenomena (e.g., overestimation of threat, sociotropy, ambivalent or sensitive sense of self, looming vulnerability), although such self and world domains have not always been emphasized in recent research. Following recent recommendations (Doron & Kyrios, 2005), the present study undertook a multifaceted investigation of self and world perceptions in a nonclinical sample, using a coherent worldview framework (Janoff-Bulman, 1989, 1991). Beliefs regarding the self and the world were found to predict OC symptom severity over and above beliefs outlined in traditional cognitive-behavioral models of OCD. Self and world beliefs were also related to other OC-relevant beliefs. Implications of these findings for theory and treatment of OCD are discussed.

Treatment Research

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a complex, often debilitating syndrome that significantly diminishes quality of life. Although the exact prevalence of OCD is unclear, estimates suggest that it is a common form of psychopathology in the West and throughout the world. A challenge to researchers and clinicians is the significant heterogeneity of OCD. Initial heterogeneity research points to important subtypes of the disorder. Elucidation of disorder heterogeneity might advance etiologic theory and treatment research, and suggest where OCD or OCD-like conditions should be placed in a comprehensive psychiatric disorder nosology. OCD more often occurs with other psychiatric disorders, and evaluation of OCD comorbidity will help clarify this condition’s relation to anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and conditions posited to be part of a broad OCD spectrum. Despite significant advancements, much work remains before we can fully understand obsessional disorders and the relation of OCD to commonly experienced negative intrusive thoughts.

And Coping

Taking up the work of Karl Jaspers, we develop a phenomenological method, which has not been fully used in clinical practice. We describe three levels of understanding of psychiatric symptoms: the static understanding as a description of symptoms in the here and now; the genetic understanding of symptom development; and the hermeneutic understanding as an interpretation of meaning and sense. This phenomenological method is illustrated using its application in obsessive-compulsive disorder. Previous findings are thus organized and illustrated on the basis of a case study. This leads us to a deeper understanding of obsessive-compulsive disorder, both from the disturbance side, as well as from the defending and coping side, to a deeper understanding, too, of its development and of the world- and self-experiencing.

Introduction: In the recent months, the world has been exposed to a serious and evolving threat called the Corona virus disease 2019. A virus that did not take more than a month to become a pandemic disease and it has infected the whole world with its contagion. The virus, which originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan, quickly infected millions of people around the world. As a result, borders were closed internationally, communications were reduced, and billions were quarantined in their homes. The most important strategies recommended by the World Health Organization and the centers for disease control and prevention are such as social distancing, personal hygiene, and disinfection. This situation led to a significant increase in demand for masks, gloves, alcohol, and disinfectants. However, excess in this area may cause various psychological disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder and hoarding, which need further attention and investigation.

Access to exposure and response prevention (ERP) for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) continues to be challenging for many individuals around the world, particularly those living in rural and underserved areas. Innovative technological solutions including mobile applications, internet-based programs, and video telehealth have the potential to expand access to mental health care for OCD. This chapter covers the use of technology in delivering ERP for OCD. First, an overview is provided of the various technology-based solutions that exist and the supporting evidence for each. Then, as video telehealth delivery is the most commonly used and has the most empirical support, the rest of the chapter discusses the benefits and challenges of video telehealth delivery of ERP; covers clinical, ethical, and legal considerations in the delivery of ERP via video telehealth; and provides two case studies illustrating relevant issues.

ABSTRACTBackground: Cross-cultural factors attributed to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that are widely investigated around the world are mostly epidemiological, with no respect to the impact of culture on the structure of OCD behavior itself.Methods: Nine Israeli and nine British OCD patients with respective non-OCD individuals were compared. To determine whether OCD symptoms are consistent across cultures, similarities in behavior were analyzed, as well as differences due to a country effect. In each country, nine OCD patients and nine non-OCD individuals were videotaped while performing the task that the patients attributed to their behavior.Results: Except for a significantly higher rate of repetition and higher performance of idiosyncratic acts, patients from both Israel and the United Kingdom showed high levels of similarities in 22 out of 24 parameters. Compared with Israeli subjects, British OCD patients had significantly longer chains of idiosyncratic acts, and a twice-higher prevalence of brief (1–2 second) idiosyncratic acts. Between-country differences were mild, possibly overridden by the conspicuous impact of OCD pathology, resulting in a similar OCD phenotype.Conclusion: These results qualitatively and quantitatively emphasize the universal appearance of the compulsions in OCD symptoms.

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the world since the first cases were reported in China in January 2020. The secondary mental health impacts of the pandemic are thought to be significant. Obsessive–compulsive disorder is a condition defined by recurrent obsessions and compulsions. It has been hypothesised that the focus on hygiene and contamination during the pandemic could exacerbate obsessive–compulsive symptoms in young people. Method A systematic literature review was conducted. Papers were sought looking at the effect of the pandemic on obsessive–compulsive disorder in young people. Results Six published cross-sectional and longitudinal studies were identified, of which four studies investigated clinic samples with a diagnosis of obsessive–compulsive disorder and two looked at community adolescent populations. Five out of the six studies found that obsessive–compulsive symptoms were exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion The COVID-19 pandemic appears to be associated with a worsening of obsessive–compulsive symptoms in young people. Being in treatment seems to have a protective effect. Maintaining mental health services during a pandemic is vital. It is important to be aware of the implications of pandemic on obsessive–compulsive symptoms in young people in order to allow them to access appropriate treatments. More research is needed in this area.
