  • Neurobiology

Background:

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can significantly impair daily functioning.
  • OCD symptoms often manifest early in life, involving time-consuming rituals.
  • A neurobiologic basis for OCD is increasingly supported by evidence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the potential higher prevalence of OCD in dermatologic settings.
  • To emphasize the importance of dermatologist awareness in identifying OCD.
  • To discuss the varied presentation of OCD spectrum disorders in dermatology.

Main Methods:
