An Audit Of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in A Bedford (UK) Community Mental Health Team

OCD is a condition seen often in Community Mental Health Teams in England. It is treated with medication and psychology. We wanted to assess what co-morbidities were present in our OCD patients, with which medications they were being treated, and whether patients had received psychological treatment. On assessment It is clear that a very large number of the OCD patients in our cohort are complex patients who have not responded to first line treatment, such as SSRIs or basic psychology, and who suffer from co-morbidities. Treatment of these patients, while oriented towards the achievement of recovery, is also relatively complex and long term.
