History
• Since the fourth century BC, obsessional behaviour was explained as “melancholia”, a distinct disease with particular mental and physical symptoms.
• Melancholia (Greek for black bile) was supposedly caused by an imbalance the four bodily fluids or humours.
• Hippocrates, in his Aphorisms, characterized “all fears and despondencies, if they last a long time" as being symptomatic of melancholia.
History
• In 17th century England, the concept of "religious melancholy" became established as the cause of a many mental disorders including those with OCD-like symptoms.
Facts and Figures
• Prevalence– Originally believed to be rare
• >0.1%
– Recent evidence suggests 1-3% Onset / Characteristics:
– Males:, high prevalence of checking– Females:, high prevalence of washing
OCD in DSM 5
APA 2013
CHANGERemoves obsessive-compulsive disorder from category of Anxiety Disorders and places it in new category of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders

Obsessive-Compulsive and related Disorders
OCD
undesired, Irrational, Intrusive, Repetitive compulsions or obsessions, (Ego- Dystonic,
alien), unwanted thought, urges or actions,
unsuccessful ability to resist, unacceptable (Patient realizes its absurdity) + anxiety and impaired functioning
What is an Obsession?
• Involuntary intrusive cognition
• Types
• Doubts (74%)
• Thinking (34%)
• Fears (26%)
• Impulses (17%)
• Images (7%)
• Other (2%)
Themes in Obsessions
• Obsessions often have common themes– Contamination, dirt, disease, illness (46%)– Violence and aggression (29%)– Moral and religious topics (11%)– Symmetry and sequence (27%)– Sex (10%)– Other (22%)
• The themes often reflect contemporary concerns (the devil, germs, AIDS)
Linking Obsessions and Compulsions
OCD and “Normal” Experience
• Obsessional thoughts found in 90% of people– It is well replicated that 80%+ of normal people
have intrusive thoughts– There thoughts are similar in content and form
to OCD patients
• Compulsions– Many people have compulsions such as
stereotyped or superstitious behaviors– 66% of normal people report some form of
checking behavior
• Is OCD qualitatively distinct?
NEUROBIOLOGY OF OCD
A. Genetics1. Twin Studies - high concordance in
monozygotic twins.2. Family Studies - frequency of OCD
higher among 1st degree relatives.3. Link between TS and OCD
a. 50% of TS have OCBb. Sex-specific phenotype (females
who inherit TS gene may only have OCB)
NEUROBIOLOGY OF OCD
B. Neuroanatomy1. Basal ganglia dysfunction
a. OCB is observed in movement disorders (PD, HD, TS) b. High conc. 5-HT in BG
2. “Frontal Lobe” Dysfunction a. Abnormalities on imaging b. Hypermetabolism on PET c. Similar patterns of cognitive test
performance
(5HT) exaggerated sensitivity of post-synaptic 5HT1A & 2A , as well as abnormal reg. of pre-synaptic 5HT1A
Stimulation of 5HT1B, 1C, 1D exacerbate OCD Stimulation of 5HT3 exacerbate anxiety, OCD?

Proves of 5HT Dysfunction in OCD
1. Efficacy of SSRIs and clomipramine
2. Serotonin receptor dysfunction
3. Hypersensitivity of postsynaptic 5-HT receptors
4. Treatment response correlated with decreased CSF serotonin
metabolite 5-HIAA in OCD patients
5. Administration of m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP), which
decreases seroternergic activity, increases obsessional symptoms
6. Correlations of platelet 5-HT transporter dysfunction, 5-HT
concentrations and monoamine oxidase activity with symptom
severity and response to SSRIs
7. Challenge tests suggest 5-HT1 receptors altered in OCD
8. Polymorphisms of 5-HT transporter linked to OCD
OCD responds to dopamine antagonists
Exacerbation with stimulants (increases DA activity) i.e.
Dextroamphetamine, methylphenidiate
The dopamine metabolite HVA is low in CSF
Related to early onset OCD
Related to hoarding disorder
Dopamine in PFC may have its role in control of
emotions?
Neurochemical Aspect The role of dopamine
» 5HT1A is dopamine accelerator. However, 5HT2A is dopamine brake (opposite effect is on glutamate).
Neurochemical Changes
Neural correlates of OCD Symptom factors
Aggression / Harm
Contamination
Symmetry / Order
Saving / Collection
Increased activity of striatum
Increased activity of Orbito frontal cortex & Anterior Cingulate Gyrus.
Decreased activity of striatum
Decreased activity of Cingulate gyrus.

ConclusionConclusion
• OCD is a disabling disorder which needs integrative evidence-based approach
