| Abstract | Obsessive compulsive disorder is a unique psychiatric problem. It is common in the community but often hidden in the clinical setting. Scientific findings suggest an organic basis, but psychological explanations are also important. Diagnosis is not difficult if accompanied by assessment schedules. Treatment consists mainly of cognitive-behavioural therapies and serotonin reuptake blockers. The therapeutic response is good, but complete remission is uncommon. |
