Abstract:
A male patient aged 43 years, suffering from symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), such as washing hands and feet frequently and checking documents compulsively, had received intensive pharmacotherapeutic and behavior therapy. Although the administration of anxiolytic drugs and/or clomipramine did not show curative effects, a combination of clomipramine and risperidone showed much greater effect in improving these symptoms.
