Abstract

The concept of an obsessive-compulsive spectrum of disorders has become useful. This article reviews what has been learned about these conditions (especially in the last few years), and how this information may be helpful to clinicians and researchers who work with patients with chronic nonmalignant pain.

Demonstrated that BDD was, as previously believed, selectively responsive to an SRI (clomipramine), as opposed to a drug mainly acting on the noradrenergic system (desipramine). The same profile of response has been seen in OCD.

Psychol Med 2001, 31:481–487. Assessed whether or not other psychiatric disorders should be considered part of the familial OCD spectrum. Several anxiety and unipolar depressive disorders occurred more frequently in relatives of persons with OCD than in relatives of controls. For many of these conditions, this relationship did not hold if OCD in the relative was controlled (ie, the other anxiety or depressive disorders appeared secondary). However, GAD occurred more frequently in relatives of persons with OCD, even in the absence of OCD itself.

Arch Gen Psychiatry 2000, 57:794–801. Showed that a dopamine antagonist, risperidone, was useful in the treatment of OCD in patients without tics (previous work showed the efficacy of low-dose dopamine antagonists in OCD with tics and in tic disorders in general). It is not yet clear whether or not the use of low-dose dopamine antagonists in patients with OCD will result in an increased prevalence of long-term complications like tardive dyskinesia.
