Abstract:
This article outlines a clinical staging model for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), focusing on early detection and tailored interventions to reduce the disorder's substantial personal and societal impacts. It examines OCD's progression from initial symptoms to chronic illness, highlighting the impact of delayed treatment and the need for early, stage-specific care. The article presents a scalable treatment framework, from lifestyle modifications in early stages to advanced therapies for severe cases. This model aims to improve access to effective care, enhance adherence, and prevent chronicity, offering a more personalized approach to OCD management.
