Activity Description

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a prevalent psychiatric disorder affecting 1% to 3% of the global population, characterized by intrusive thoughts, known as obsessions, and repetitive actions, or compulsions. These symptoms affect patients not only by consuming a significant portion of their time but also by causing marked distress and functional impairment. The complex etiology of OCD involves cognitive, genetic, and neural factors, making the condition's diagnosis challenging and necessitating the exclusion of other psychiatric conditions that present similarly. Further complicating matters, OCD frequently coexists with other psychiatric disorders, requiring comprehensive identification and treatment for optimal clinical outcomes. While the combination of medication and psychotherapy is generally effective, emerging evidence supports using neuromodulation techniques (eg, deep brain stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation) for treatment-resistant cases.

This activity reviews the epidemiology, etiology, clinical presentation, and management of OCD, providing healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools to improve patient care for this complex and prevalent condition. Emphasizing the importance of prompt recognition for timely diagnosis and intervention, the activity presents evaluation strategies and offers guidelines for differentiating OCD from similar psychiatric disorders. Varying etiologies, clinical presentations, and prognostic factors pertinent to OCD are also reviewed. By participating in this transformative activity, healthcare professionals will augment their clinical expertise and enhance their collaborative capacities, significantly improving patient care in OCD management.
