  • Current treatments include cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and pharmacotherapy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evidence-based literature on the efficacy and effectiveness of CBT, drug treatment, and their combination for OCD.
  • To present the current state of OCD management and consensual recommendations.
  • To highlight the need for novel treatment approaches.

Main Methods:

Main Results:

  • Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and CBT are mainstays of OCD treatment, used individually or combined.
  • A hierarchical model suggests adding medication for more severe OCD.
  • Treatment response rates remain suboptimal for many patients, with some exhibiting refractory symptoms.

Conclusions:

  • Combined psychological and biological approaches are crucial for developing new OCD treatments.
  • Further research is essential to address the needs of patients with treatment-resistant OCD.
  • Optimizing treatment strategies requires a multidisciplinary approach.
