Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders DSM (all) Flashcards
define obsessions
recurrent and persistent thoughts, urges or images that are experienced as intrusive and unwanted
*not pleasurable and not experiences as voluntary
define compulsions
repetitive behaviours or mental acts that an individual feels driven to perform in response to an obsession or according to rules that must be applied rigidly
*not done for pleasure though some people experience relief from anxiety or distress
how do obsessive compulsive and related disorders differ from developmentally normative peoccupations and rituals
by being EXCESSIVE or persisting beyond developmentally appropriate periods
list symptom dimensions (themes) that are common in OCD
cleaning
symmetry
forbidden or taboo thoughts
harm
are the body-focused repetitive behaviours that characterize trichotillomania and excoriation disorder triggered by obsessions or preoccupations?
no
but may be preceded or accompanied by various emotional states such as anxiety or boredom
may also be preceded by an increasing sense of tension or may lead to gratification, pleasure, or sense of relief when hair pulled out or skin picked
criterion A for OCD
presence of obsessions, compulsions, or both
define obsessions per criterion A of OCD
- recurrent and persistent thoughts, urges or images that are experienced, at some time during the disturbance, as INTRUSIVE and UNWANTED and that in most individuals cause marked ANXIETY and DISTRESS
AND - individual attempts to ignore or SUPPRESS such thoughts, urges or images or to NEUTRALIZE them with some other thought or action i.e by performing a compulsion
define compulsion per criterion A of OCD
- repetitive behaviours (i.e hand washing, ordering, checking) or mental acts (praying, counting, repeating words silently) that the individual feels driven to perform in response to an obsession or according to rules that must be applied rigidly
AND - behaviours or mental acts are aimed at preventing or reducing anxiety or distress or preventing some dreaded event or situation –> however, these behaviours or mental acts are not connected in a realistic way with what they are designed to neutralize or prevent or are clearly excessive
criterion B OCD
obsessions are TIME CONSUMING (i.e take more than 1 hour per day) OR cause clinically significant distress or impairment
criterion C for OCD
symptoms not attributable to physiological effects of a substance or another medical condition
criterion D OCD
not better explained by another mental disorder
what specifiers are there for OCD in the DSM
- with good or fair insight–> individual recognizes that the O-C disorder beliefs are definitely or probably not true or that they may or may not be true
- with poor insight–> things OCD beliefs are probably true
- with absent insight/delusional beliefs–> individual completely convinced that OCD beliefs are true
- specify if “tic related”–> individual has current or past history of tic disorder
name some common dysfunctional beliefs found in individuals with OCD
an inflated sense of responsibility
tendency to overestimate threat
perfectionism
intolerance of uncertainty
over-importance of thoughts (i.e believing that having a forbidden thought is as bad as acting on it) and the need to control thoughts
what proportion of people with OCD have absent insight/delusional beliefs
about 4% or less
how does degree of insight in OCD help prognostically
while degree of insight can vary of the course of the illness, generally poorer insight has been linked to worse long term outcome
what proportion of people with OCD have a lifetime tic disorder? which populations tends to present with this constellation of symptoms?
about 30%
*most common in males with onset of OCD in childhood
*these individuals tend to differ from those without a history of tic disorders in the themes of their OCD symptoms, comorbidity, course and pattern of familial transmission
how do those with both tics disorders and OCD tend to differ from those with OCD but no tic disorder
those with tic-related OCD had:
–more OC symptoms, including more aggressive, religious and sexual obsessions
–more checking, counting, ordering, touching and boarding compulsions
are OCD themes generally consistent over time for adults with the disorder or do they change over time
generally consistent
(may be associated with different neural substrates)
people tend to have symptoms in more than one dimension
what is the 12 month prevalence of OCD
about 1-2%
males more commonly affected in childhood, females more commonly affected in adulthood
what % of cases of OCD start before/by age 14 years
25%
what is the upper limit of the normal age of onset of OCD
onset of OCD above age 35 is rare but does happen
what is the mean age of onset of OCD in the USA
19.5 years
what is the typical course of onset of OCD symptoms
typically gradual but acute onset has also been reported
who has earlier age of onset of OCD, males or females
males–> nearly 25% of males have age of onset before age 10
what is the usual course of OCD if untreated
usually CHRONIC often with WAXING and WANING symptoms
some people have EPISODIC course
minority have deteriorating course
what are remission rates in adults if OCD remains UNtreated
remission rates LOW if untreated–> 20% for those reevaluated 40 years later
however, 40% of people with onset of OCD in childhood and adolescence may experience remission by early adulthood
name 3 temperamental risk factors for OCD
greater internalizing symptoms
higher negative emotionality
behavioural inhibition
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
how does having a first degree relative with OCD affect someones risk of developing OCD themselves
risk is 2x higher if you have a first degree relative with the disorder
BUT–> if your first degree relative had onset in childhood or adolescence, risk increases by 10x
dysfunction in which three brain regions is most strongly implicated in OCD
orbitofrontal cortex
anterior cingulate cortex
striatum
is the presentation of OCD fairly consistent worldwide
yes–> substantial similalarity across cultures in gender distribution, age at onset, and comorbidity of OCD, as well as in symptom structure involving cleaning, symmetry, taboo thoughts or fear of harm
(there is some regional variation though)
which gender is more likely to have comorbid tic disorders with OCD
males
which gender is more likely to have symptoms in the cleaning symptom dimension in OCD
females
which gender is more likely to have symptoms in the forbidden thoughts dimension in OCD
males
which gender is more likely to have symptoms in the symmetry dimension in OCD
males
is there a period of life that is an at risk time for development or exacerbation of OCD symptoms
have been reported in the peripartum period (including aggressive obsessions leading to avoidance of the infant)
SI occurs in what proportion of those with OCD?
suicide attempts occur in what proportion of those with OCD?
SI–> occurs at some point in about half of people with OCD
attempts–> reported in about 25% of people with OCD

other OCD and related disorders
eating disorders
tics
stereotyped movements
psychotic disorders
other compulsive like behavious (i.e paraphilias, gambling, substance use_
OCPD
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
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
how does one distinguish between other compulsive like behaviours (i.e gambling, paraphilias) and OCD
usually in the other behaviours, the person derives pleasure from the behaviour and only wishes to refarin from it due to deleterious consequences
how does OCPD differ from OCD
OCPD–> enduring and pervasive maladaptive pattern of excessive PERFECTIONISM and RIGID CONTROL
OCD–> O-C symptoms
can you have both OCPD and OCD
yes

list disorders that occur more commonly in those with OCD than those without OCD
BDD
trichotillomania
excoriation disorder
*there is also an association between OCD and some disorder related to impulsivity like ODD have been reported
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)
schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder –> prevalence of OCD = 12%
bipolar disorder
eating disorders
tourettes disorder
criterion A for BDD
preoccupation is ONE or MORE perceived DEFECTS or flaws in PHYSICAL APPEARANCE that are NOT observable or appear SLIGHT to others
criterion B for BDD
at some point during the course of the disorder, the individual has performed REPETITIVE BEHAVIOURS (i.e mirror checking, excessive grooming, skin picking, reassurance seeking) or mental acts (i.e comparing their appearance to that of others) in response to the appearance concerns
criterion C for BDD
preoccupation causes clinically significant distress/impairment
criterion D for BDD
not better explained by concerns with body fat or weight in an individual whose symptoms meet diagnostic criteria for an eating disorder
list specifiers associated with BDD
- with muscle dysmorphia–> preoccupied with idea body build is too small or insufficiently muscular
- indicate degree of insight (i.e with good or fair insight, with poor insight or with absent insight/delusional beliefs)
which body areas are most commonly the cause for concern in BDD
skin–> perceived lines, acne, scars, wrinkles, paleness
hair–> “thinning” hair or “excessive” body hair or facial hair
nose–> size or shape
*however any body area can be area of concern i.e eyes, teeth, weight, stomach, breasts, chin, eyebrows etc
*some individuals are concerns with perceived asymmetry of body areas
how would you describe the nature of the body related preoccupations in BDD
intrusive
unwanted
time consuming
usually difficult to resist or control
how much time during the day do the body related preoccupations in BDD typically occur for
on average 3-8 hours per day
what is “muscle dysmorphia”
a form of BDD occurring almost exclusively in MALES–> preoccupation with idea that ones body is too small or insufficiently lean or muscular
typically have normal looking body or are muscular
may also be preoccupied with other body areas
majority (not all) use diet, exercize and/or lift weights–> may cause body damage–> may use anabolic steroids or other substances to make body look bigger and more muscular
what is BDD by proxy?
form of BDD in which individuals are preoccupied with defects they perceive in another person’s appearance
on average, what is people’s insight like when they have BDD
generally poor–> 1/3 or more currently have DELUSIONAL BDD beliefs
why do we care about level of insight in BDD
those with delusional BDD tend to have greater morbidity in some areas i.e suicide
what is a common type of idea/delusion in BDD
ideas or delusions of reference (believing that other people take special notice or mock them becuase of how they look)
what other features are often associated with those who have BDD
high levels of anxiety
social anxiety
social avoidance
depressed mood
neuroticism
perfectionism
low extroversion
low self esteem
what interventions to those with BDD often undertake due to their disorder
majority receive cosmetic treatment to try and improve perceived defects–> derm treatment and surgery are most common
some people may perform surgery on themselves
do cosmetic treatments tend to help in BDD
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
what neurocognitive dysfunctions have been associated with BDD
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

cosmetic surgery–> 7-16%
adult orthodontia–> 7-8%
oral surgery–> 10%
what is the usual age of onset for BDD
mean/median is around 15-17 years but most common age is 12-13 years old
(2/3 have onset before age 18)
what is a bad prognostic factor for BDD
onset before age 18
onset before age 18 means person is more likely to attempt suicide, have more comorbidity, and have gradual, rather than acute, disorder onset
name an environmental RF for BDD
childhood abuse and neglect
name a genetic risk factor for BDD
higher rates in people with a first degree relative with OCD
how do males and females with BDD differ
actually have more similarities than differences (i.e in severity, disliked body areas, types of repetitive behaviours, illness course)
males–> more likely to genital preoccupations
females–> more likely to have comorbid eating disorder
muscle dysmorphia = almost exclusively males
does BDD affect suicide risk
yes–> SI and SA rates are high in this population
on average, how much functional impairment is there in BDD
psychosocial functioning and quality of life for those with BDD tends to me “markedly poor”

other O-C and related disorders
illness anxiety disorder
MDD
anxiety disorders
psychotic disorders

(same with trichotillomania and hair()
what is body identity integrity disorder
(not DSM)
involves desire to have a limb amputated to correct an experience of mismatch between a persons sense of body identity and his or her actual anatomy –> concern does not focus on limbs appearance
what is “koro”
a culturally related disorder that usually occurs in epidemics in SE Asia = fear that the penis (or labia/nipples/breasts in females) is shrinking or retracting and will disappear into the abdomen
often accompanied by belief that death will result
*focus is often on death rather than perceived ugliness so differs from BDD
what is apotemnophilia
another word for body identity integrity disorder (not DSM)
what is olfactory reference syndrome
not DSM
belief that one emits foul or offensive body odor
what is the most commonly comorbid disorder with BDD
MDD
-> onset usually after BDD
social anxiety, OCD, SUDs are also common
criterion A for hoarding disorder
persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions regardless of their actual value
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
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
criterion D-F for hoarding disorder
clinically significant distress/impairment
not attributable to another medical condition
not better explained by another mental disorder
what medical conditions may be associated with hoarding behaviours
brain injury
cerebrovascular disease
prader-willi syndrome
what specifiers are there for hoarding disorder
- with excessive acquisition
- related to insight (good or fair insight–> recognizes behaviours are problematic, poor insight–> mostly does not think behaviours are problematic despite evidence to the contrary, absent insight/delusional beliefs–> completely convinced behaviours are not problematic)
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
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
is the saving of items intentional or passive in hoarding disorder
intentional
(differs from other psychopathology in which you can have the passive accumulation of detritus)

list some other common features found in those with hoarding disorder
indecisiveness
perfectionism
avoidance
procrastination
difficulty planning and organizing tasks
distractability
why do some people with hoarding disorder live in unsanitary conditions

course is often chronic –> few people report waxing and waning
what is a prominent temperamental risk factors for hoarding disorder
indecisiveness
what is an environmental risk factor for hoarding disorder
stressful and traumatic life events preceding onset of disorder
does hoarding disorder run in families?
yes–> about 50% of people with hoarding disorder report a family member who also hoards
twin studies–> about 50% of variability in hoarding behaviour is genetic factors
is hoarding a western phenomenon?
no–> little data but appears to be universal with consistent clinical features
how does hoarding disorder tend to present differently in females vs males
females tend to display more excessive acquisition, particularly excessive buying, than males

damage to which parts of the brain has been particularly associated with excessive accumulation of objects
anterior ventromedial prefrontal and cingulate cortices
(in people with damage to this part of the brain, hoarding was not present before the brain damage and presents shortly after the injury)
do you diagnose hoarding disorder if the hoarding is felt to be direct consequence of i.e autism or other neurodevelopmental d/o
no
can you get hoarding behaviours in OCD?
yes–> and if felt to be specifically related to the OCD then you just diagnose OCD
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)
what are the most commonly comorbid conditions with hoarding disorder
MDD (up to 50%)
social anxiety disorder
GAD
OCD (up to 20%)

name risk factors for trichotillomania
genetic vulnerability
more common in those with OCD and their first degree relatives
how might you differentiate trichotillomania from other types of hair loss if the person does not admit to hair pulling
(usually people admit to the hair pulling so this is not necessary)
can do skin biopsy or dermoscopy–> would see short vellus hair, decreased hair density, and broken hair with different shaft lengths
