Evaluating OCD Treatments:
The Benefits of Specialized Care
Despite its prevalence and impact, OCD remains difficult to diagnose and treat due to its high level of complexity, the abstract nature of its symptoms, and frequent co-occurrence with complicating factors like trauma and neurodivergence.
Studies show that:
-
~50% of OCD cases are misdiagnosed
-
Patients can live with OCD for up 11 years before receiving an accurate diagnosis
-
Generalist mental healthcare is empirically ineffective for OCD, while specialist treatments can produce an 80+% reduction in symptoms.
This paper is intended to help frontline healthcare professionals provide the best care for their patients by exploring:
-
OCD's nuanced presentation
-
The efficacy of specialized strategies
-
Methods for more timely and accurate diagnosis
