Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) may precede delusional disorder (DD), particularly when obsessions are singular. Depression and schizotypy may increase delusion risk in OCD patients.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and delusional disorders (DD) are increasingly recognized.
  • The overlap between OCD and DD, specifically the development of delusions in OCD patients, warrants further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between OCD and DD.
  • To explore factors contributing to delusion formation in OCD patients.

Main Methods:

  • Demographic data collection.
  • Symptom severity assessment.
  • Evaluation of schizotypal ideation, dysfunctional attitudes, attributional, and attention bias.

Main Results:

  • In patients with OCD and delusions (OC-DD), obsessional features preceded delusions, suggesting OCD as primary.

  • Delusions were more prevalent in subjects with single-themed obsessions.
  • Depression and schizotypy showed potential links to delusion onset in OCD.

    • Conclusions:

    • OCD may be the primary condition in patients who develop delusions.
    • The number of obsessions may be a factor in categorizing OCD.
    • Further research into the interplay of depression, schizotypy, and delusion formation in OCD is supported.
