We aimed to investigate OCD symptoms and responsibility beliefs in relation to coronavirus-related anxiety and adaptive and maladaptive behaviors at two different time points. We tested age as a moderator of the relationship between responsibility and outcomes. 159 participants completed the initial online assessment, whereas 56 completed the second assessment, six months later. OCD symptoms significantly predicted coronavirus-related anxiety, adaptive and maladaptive behaviors. Responsibility beliefs predicted the above-mentioned outcomes, but no longer when controlling for OCD symptoms and age did not moderate these relationships. OCD symptoms may represent both protective and vulnerability factors during the coronavirus pandemic.

Mindfulness- and acceptance-based programmes (MABPs) in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are increasingly gaining research interest, yet a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis is missing. To fill this gap, we analysed 46 trials involving 2221 patients. Two independent reviewers screened records, extracted data, assessed risk of bias, and rated overall quality of evidence.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a highly heterogeneous disorder, with notable variations among cases in structural brain abnormalities. To address this heterogeneity, our study aimed to delineate OCD subtypes based on individualized gray matter morphological differences. We recruited 100 untreated, first-episode OCD patients and 106 healthy controls for structural imaging scans.

Method: A total of 134 patients diagnosed with SPD (mean age = 32 years; 84 % female; average symptom duration: 16 years) underwent in-person clinical assessment.

Treatment efficacy for patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) with poor insight is low. Insight refers to a patient's ability to recognize that their obsessions are irrational and that their compulsions are futile attempts to reduce anxiety. This case study presents the first application of virtual reality-assisted avatar therapy for OCD (VRT-OCD) in a patient with contamination OCD and ambivalent insight.

Background And Objectives: Beliefs about losing control over one's thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and/or bodily functions have been shown to cause obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The cognitive model of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) suggests that catastrophic misappraisals of intrusions will lessen if underlying maladaptive beliefs are effectively reduced. The primary aim of this study was to experimentally investigate whether preexisting negative appraisals about losing control could be reduced by reappraising a previous perceived loss of control.
