list environmental risk factors for OCD
physical and sexual abuse in childhood other stressful or traumatic events various infectious agents and post infectious autoimmune syndrome (ie PANDAS) have been associated with sudden onset OCD

40
how do you distinguish between the recurrent thoughts in other anxiety disorders like GAD vs those found in OCD
in GAD--> recurrent thoughts generally about real-life concerns in OCD--> recurrent thoughts generally do not involve real-life concerns and can include content that is "odd, irrational or seemingly of a magical nature" +compulsions often present and usually linked to obsessions
41
how do you distinguish between the rumination of MDD vs OCD
MDD--> usually mood congruent and not necessarily experienced as intrusive or distressing + no compulsions

49
rates of OCD are elevated in people with which other disorders? (i.e if someone gets diagnosed with one of these other disorders, you should assess for OCD as the rates of OCD are higher in these people than would be expected based on the general population rates)

no--> BDD tends to respond poorly to such treatments and sometimes becomes worse some individuals take legal action or are violent against the clinician because they are dissatisfied with the cosmetic outcome
66

executive dysfunction visual processing abnormalities --> bias for analyzing and encoding details rather than holistic or configural aspects of visual stimuli tend to have a bias towards negative or threatening interpretations of facial expressions and ambiguous scenarios

childhood abuse and neglect
72
name a genetic risk factor for BDD
higher rates in people with a first degree relative with OCD

84
criterion A for hoarding disorder
persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions regardless of their actual value
85
criterion B for hoarding disorder
this difficulty (with discarding or parting with possessions) is due to a perceived need to save the items and to distress associated with discarding them
86
criterion C for hoarding disorder
difficulty discarding possessions results in the accumulation of possessions that congest and clutter active living areas and sustantially compromises their intended use if living areas are uncluttered, it is only because of the interventions of third parties

90
what is hoarding disorder "with excessive acquisition" is this common?
hoarding disorder + if difficulty discarding possessions is accompanied by excessive acquisition of items that are NOT NEEDED or for which there is NO SPACE yes--> approx 80-90% of those with hoarding disorder display excessive acquisition ppl with hoarding disorder tend to experience distress is unable to or prevented from acquiring items
91
what are the most common methods of excessive acquisition in hoarding disorder
most common--> buying next common--> acquisition of free items (i.e leaflets, items discarded by others) stealing is less common
92
is the saving of items intentional or passive in hoarding disorder

ddx hoarding disorder
other medical conditions neurodevelopmental disorders schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders MDE OCD neurocognitive disorders

108
do you diagnose hoarding disorder if the hoarding is felt to be direct consequence of i.e autism or other neurodevelopmental d/o
no
109
can you get hoarding behaviours in OCD?
yes--> and if felt to be specifically related to the OCD then you just diagnose OCD
110
how do hoarding behaviours tend to differ if a result of OCD vs hoarding disorder
in OCD--> behaviour generally unwanted, no pleasure or reward excessive acquisition generally not present more likely to accumulate bizarre items like trash, feces, urine, nails, hair, used diapers, rotten food (accumulation of these items in hoarding disorder is very rare) usually secondary to feelings of incompleteness (i.e losing identity, need to document all life experiences) or to avoid onerous rituals (i.e decontamination rituals)
111
what are the most commonly comorbid conditions with hoarding disorder
MDD (up to 50%) social anxiety disorder GAD OCD (up to 20%) *these comorbidities are often main reason for consult as people are unlikely to spontaneously report hoarding symptoms and are often not asked about in routine interviews
