Abstract:
Introduction: Obsessive-compulsive disorder has a broadly diverse clinical expression that reflects heterogeneity. Several studies have identified consistent symptom dimensions of obsessivecompulsive disorder. The purpose of this study was to conduct an exploratory symptoms analysis of obsessive-compulsive symptoms in adolescents and adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in the Department of Psychiatry, National Medical College. This study examined lifetime occurrence of obsessive-compulsive symptoms included in the 13 symptom categories of the Yale–Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale. Symptoms analysis was performed on 60 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Eight categories of obsessions and six categories of compulsions from Yale–Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale were included in the analyses. SPSS software package (version 16) was used to analyze the data and shown in the table. Results: Of 60 adolescents and adults, female and male were in the ratio of 1.2:1. Contamination was the most common occurring obsession followed by aggressive obsession. The most common occurring compulsion was checking followed by washing. Only a minority of patients (13.33%) presented predominantly with obsessions however 18.33% patients presented predominantly with compulsions. Certain obsessions and compulsions co-occur to form a cluster. Conclusions: In adolescents and adults, obsessive-compulsive disorder is a multidimensional disorder. Symptom dimensions are predominantly congruent with those described in similar studies of adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Keywords: compulsion; obsession; obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Abstract:
Neuroimaging studies have indicated abnormalities in cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical circuits in obsessive–compulsive disorder patients, but results have not been consistent. Since there are significant sex differences in human brain anatomy and obsessive–compulsive symptomatology and its developmental trajectories tend to be distinct in males and females, we investigated whether sex is a potential source of heterogeneity in neuroimaging studies on obsessive–compulsive symptoms. We selected male and female twin pairs who were concordant for scoring either high or low for obsessive–compulsive symptoms and a group of discordant pairs where one twin scored high and the co-twin scored low. The design included 24 opposite-sex twin pairs. Magnetic resonance imaging scans of 31 males scoring high for obsessive–compulsive symptoms, 41 low-scoring males, 58 high-scoring females, and 73 low-scoring females were analyzed and the interaction of obsessive–compulsive symptoms by sex on gray matter volume was assessed using voxel-based morphometry. An obsessive–compulsive symptom by sex interaction was observed for the left middle temporal gyrus, the right middle temporal gyrus, and the right precuneus. These interactions acted to reduce or hide a main effect in our study and illustrate the importance of taking sex into account when investigating the neurobiology of obsessive–compulsive symptoms.

Abstract:
AbstractPurpose: A case of schizophrenia with coexisting obsessive-compulsive symptoms is reported.Case: The frequency of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS) occurrence among patients suffering from schizophrenia is considerably higher in comparison to general population. The results of some studies show that schizo-obsessive disorder is characterized by higher intensity of negative and depressive symptoms. Patients with comorbid schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder show greater level of social dysfunction and they exhibit suicidal behaviours more often than patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. We present a 33-year-old female with obsessive-compulsive symptoms with onset in her early teens with no satisfactory response to treatment, in spite of her good intellect and insight into illness and cooperation.Comment: There is some evidence suggesting that patients with “schizo-obsessive disorder” have a worse prognosis compared to the group of patients suffering only from schizophrenia, but the effect of OCD on schizophrenia symptom profile is unclear.

Abstract:
Abstract Little is known about the role of mindfulness and self-compassion in obsessive-compulsive disorder. This cross-sectional study examined associations of mindfulness and self-compassion with obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms and with the obsessive beliefs and low distress tolerance thought to maintain them. Samples of treatment-seeking adults (N = 1871) and non-treatment-seeking adults (N = 540) completed mindfulness, self-compassion, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, depression, obsessive beliefs and distress tolerance questionnaires. Participants with clinically significant obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms reported lower trait mindfulness and self-compassion compared to participants with clinically significant anxiety/depression and to non-clinical controls. Among the clinical sample, there were medium-large associations between mindfulness and self-compassion and obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms, obsessive beliefs and distress tolerance. Mindfulness and self-compassion were unique predictors of obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms, controlling for depression severity. Once effects of obsessive beliefs and distress tolerance were controlled, a small effect remained for mindfulness (facets) on obsessing symptoms and for self-compassion on washing and checking symptoms. Directions for future research and clinical implications are considered in conclusion.

Abstract:
Obsessive–compulsive disorder and autism spectrum disorder commonly co-occur. Adapted cognitive behavior therapy for obsessive–compulsive disorder in adults with autism spectrum disorder has not previously been evaluated outside the United Kingdom. In this study, 19 adults with obsessive–compulsive disorder and autism spectrum disorder were treated using an adapted cognitive behavior therapy protocol that consisted of 20 sessions focused on exposure with response prevention. The primary outcome was the clinician-rated Yale–Brown Obsessive–Compulsive Scale. Participants were assessed up to 3 months after treatment. There were significant reductions on the Yale–Brown Obsessive–Compulsive Scale at post-treatment (d = 1.5), and improvements were sustained at follow-up (d = 1.2). Self-rated obsessive–compulsive disorder and depressive symptoms showed statistically significant reductions. Improvements in general functioning and quality of life were statistically non-significant. Three participants (16%) were responders at post-treatment and four (21%) were in remission from obsessive–compulsive disorder. At follow-up, three participants (16%) were responders and one (5%) was in full remission. Adapted cognitive behavior therapy for obsessive–compulsive disorder in adults with co-occurring autism spectrum disorder is associated with reductions in obsessive–compulsive symptoms and depressive symptoms. However, outcomes are modest; few patients were completely symptom free, and treatment engagement was low with few completed exposures and low adherence to homework assignments. We identify and discuss the need for further treatment refinement for this vulnerable group.

Abstract:
Previous research has documented similarities between symptoms of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Anorexia Nervosa, and Bulimia Nervosa and elevated comorbidity between these conditions in clinical samples, with the relationship between OCD and Anorexia being stronger than between OCD and Bulimia. Researchers adopting a continuum view of psychopathology have also found that individuals with sub-clinical expressions of obsessive-compulsive symptoms resemble their clinical counterparts in several ways. The goal of the current study was to explore whether or not the observed relationship between obsessive-compulsive symptoms and eating disorder symptoms observed in clinical populations would also be observed in a nonclinical population. 264 participants from a college sample completed self-report measures of these symptoms. A positive correlation was found between scores on obsessive-compulsive, anorexia and bulimia instruments, and reflective of their clinical counterparts the relationship between obsessive-compulsive and anorexia symptoms was more significant than the one between obsessive compulsive symptoms and bulimia symptoms. Implications and limitations for research and clinical practice are discussed.

Abstract:
BackgroundObsessive–compulsive behaviours are common and disabling in autistic-spectrum disorders (ASD) but little is known about how they compare with those experienced by people with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD).AimTo make such a comparison.MethodA group of adults with high-functioning ASD (n=40) were administered the Yale–Brown Obsessive–Compulsive Scale and Symptom Checklist and their symptoms compared with a gender-matched group of adults with a primary diagnosis of OCD (n=45). OCD symptoms were carefully distinguished from stereotypic behaviours and interests usually displayed by those with ASD.ResultsThe two groups had similar frequencies of obsessive–compulsive symptoms, with only somatic obsessions and repeating rituals being more common in the OCD group. The OCD group had higher obsessive–compulsive symptom severity ratings but up to 50% of the ASD group reported at least moderate levels of interference from their symptoms.ConclusionsObsessions and compulsions are both common in adults with high-functioning ASD and are associated with significant levels of distress.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: The present study describes the process of translation into Brazilian Portuguese and the cross-cultural adaptation of the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory and the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised scales. The Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory was developed with the purpose of measuring the intensity of the various symptoms that characterize the obsessive-compulsive disorder, assessing their frequency and the distress they caused during the previous month, as well as estimating the overall severity of the disorder. Thus, different levels of severity among different obsessions and compulsions can be assessed and compared. METHOD: The scales were initially translated into Brazilian Portuguese by two bilingual psychiatrists and then independently back-translated by other two bilingual psychiatrists. The scales were then applied to 15 obsessive-compulsive disorder patients, deliberately chosen from different educational levels, to make language adjustments. The author accepted the final version of the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory and the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised scales after their back translation. RESULTS: The scales were easily understood and filled in by individuals and may be used with obsessive-compulsive disorder patients of different socioeconomic levels. CONCLUSION: The Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory and the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised scales, in their Brazilian Portuguese version, can help health professionals to screen potential obsessive-compulsive disorder patients, assess the severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms and reduce these symptoms using different treatments.

Abstract:
Obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms occur in a variety of clinical conditions, but the underlying pathogenesis of these symptoms remains elusive. Few neuropsychological investigations have compared idiopathic Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) with patient groups where OC symptoms are acquired. The present study investigated the neuropsychological correlates of OC symptoms in OCD and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a neurodegenerative illness in which OC symptoms are often acquired. Neuroimaging in OCD has consistently implicated the frontal-striatal-thalamic circuit, particularly the orbitofrontal cortex and basal ganglia. These areas overlap considerably with the sites of cerebral pathology found in FTD. OCD has been associated with a number of neuropsychological deficits, with most consistent findings pointing towards impaired executive function (EF), and less commonly reported deficits in visual memory and visuospatial ability. The neuropsychological hallmark of FTD is deficits in EF. However in both OCD and FTD, the relationship between cognitive deficits and OC symptoms remains unclear. Further, the extent to which OC symptoms are comparable between the groups is ambiguous. Part I of the present study compared 19 OCD subjects to 20 age, education and IQ-matched healthy controls on a battery of neuropsychological tests of all major cognitive domains with emphasis on EF. A measure of Theory of Mind (ToM) thought to be sensitive to orbitofrontal function was also administered. OCD subjects performed worse than controls on a measure of visual memory, visuospatial reasoning and on only one measure of EF. OCD symptom subtypes, as measured by the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (OCI), were not correlated with any cognitive deficits. No group differences in ToM were found. It is suggested that prior research has overestimated the severity and significance of EF deficits in OCD. Part II of the study compared 9 FTD participants with 10 matched healthy controls on the same neuropsychological test battery and OC symptom measures. In addition, a measure of compulsive behaviours used in neurological populations was administered to carers. While the incidence of OC symptoms was comparable to reports in previous studies (78%), the OCI was not sensitive in the detection of OC symptoms in FTD. The similarities and differences in OC symptoms between the two patient groups are discussed.

Abstract:
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is heterogeneous in its presentation and quests to clarify the best way to subtype OCD have remained elusive. This thesis aims to assess for symptom-based OCD subtypes in a sample of patients with OCD and to describe the characteristics of these OCD symptom subtypes. The methods used include principal components analysis of the results of the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Scale – Symptom Checklist (YBOCS-SC) and the Vancouver Obsessional Compulsive Inventory (VOCI) self report obtained from a sample of 154 subjects with a primary diagnosis of OCD. Five symptom factors explained 67.9% of the variance. They were named: 1) hoarding; 2) contamination/cleaning; 3) symmetry/ordering; 4) unacceptable/taboo thoughts; and 5) doubt/checking. These factors were used as predictors of a number of systematically chosen characteristics and were subject to regression analyses. Results indicated that different OCD symptoms predicted different phenomenological characteristics, degrees of comorbidity, and different cognitive and emotional correlates. Results also indicate that psychological forms of therapy should be tailored to the patient’s prominent OCD symptoms. The study supported 5 major symptom dimensions rather than four. In particular, it revealed significant differences between unacceptable/taboo thoughts and doubt/checking. The results encourage researchers using symptom-based subtypes to continue their efforts with the hope of improving our understanding of the aetiology of these symptoms and the treatments that we provide patients with these symptoms.

Abstract:
Esta tesis busca contribuir al estudio de los correlatos neurobiológicos de los síntomas obsesivos-compulsivos subclínicos (SOCS) con la esperanza de que sus hallazgos puedan ser eventualmente vinculados al desarrollo del trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo (TOC) y servir para identificar individuos vulnerables a desarrollarlo. Para ello, presentamos tres estudios realizados en una muestra de niños sanos, en los que utilizamos un enfoque multidimensional de los síntomas e implementamos distintas modalidades de neuroimagen, así como la combinación de datos de neuroimagen y genética, para aportar una visión integral de los factores que subyacen los SOCS. En el primer estudio, analizamos cambios volumétricos en la sustancia gris y blanca asociados a los SOCS y, en el segundo, evaluamos alteraciones de conectividad funcional asociadas a estos síntomas. En ambos, estudiamos el efecto de la edad y el sexo en dichas asociaciones. Finalmente, en el tercer estudio, identificamos nodos cerebrales en los que la conectividad funcional dinámica tiende a reverberar (atractores) y estudiamos su relación con los SOCS y su base genética. Nuestros resultados vinculan los SOCS totales con alteraciones en el circuito cortico-estriato- talamo-cortical (CSTC), hecho que concuerda con el modelo neurobiológico del TOC, pero también en regiones límbicas fuera de este circuito. También observamos que diferentes síntomas se asocian a alteraciones neurobiológicas distintas, lo que coincide con el modelo multidimensional del trastorno. Además, encontramos que los cambios estructurales relacionados con los síntomas de orden eran específicos de niños menores de 10 años, mientras que los cambios estructurales y funcionales asociados con los síntomas de acumulación eran específicos de sujetos de más de 10 años, especialmente en niñas, lo que sugiere que estos grupos demográficos pueden ser especialmente vulnerables a desarrollar dichos síntomas. Finalmente, identificamos polimorfismos en los genes GRM7 y GNAQ, implicados en la modulación de la neurotransmisión glutamatérgica, y PARVA, asociado a la regulación del citoesqueleto de actina, que predisponen al aumento de la capacidad atractora del hipocampo, vinculada a los SOCS totales. Del mismo modo, hallamos polimorfismos en los genes ATP1B1 y TESC, implicados en el mantenimiento de gradientes electroquímicos, que predisponen y protegen, respectivamente, al aumento de las propiedades atractoras del córtex parietal superior, relacionadas con los síntomas de orden.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by the presence of intrusive thoughts that cause anxiety (obsessions) and lead to repetitive behaviors or mental acts aimed at reducing this anxiety (compulsions). Although OCD has been associated with alterations in the cortico-striato- thalamo-cortical (CSTC) circuits, the clinical heterogeneity of the disorder makes its neurobiology difficult to investigate. Given that the evidence suggests that different OCD symptoms could arise from distinct neurobiological alterations, the use of the multidimensional model, which allows characterizing different symptom dimensions, could help define more homogeneous subgroups of patients and identify more robust endophenotypes. However, the studies that have used this approach have given heterogeneous findings, possibly due to differences between patients in terms of medication, chronicity, or comorbidities. Notably, epidemiological studies show that obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCSs) in childhood predispose to developing OCD in adulthood. Furthermore, the symptom profile observed in adulthood is consistent with the same symptom precursors in childhood. Therefore, OCSs could be studied in samples of healthy children from a dimensional perspective, thus avoiding the confounding factors typically observed in clinical samples. This thesis seeks to contribute to the study of the neurobiological correlates of OCSs in hopes that its findings may eventually be linked to the development of OCD and serve to characterize at-risk individuals. With that aim, we present three studies assessing a sample of healthy children, in which we use a multidimensional approach and implement different neuroimaging modalities and techniques, as well as the combination of neuroimaging and genetic data, to provide a comprehensive view of the factors underlying OCSs. In the first study, we analyzed volumetric changes in gray and white matter associated with total and dimensional OCSs whereas, in the second one, we evaluated functional connectivity alterations associated with total and dimensional OCSs. In both studies, we also assessed the effect of age and sex on these associations. In the third one, we identified brain nodes in which dynamic functional connectivity tends to reverberate (attractors) and we studied their relationship with total and dimensional OCSs. Furthermore, by combining neuroimaging and gene expression data, we identified genetic variants that moderated the relationship between OCSs and attractors. Our results link total OCSs with alterations in the CSTC circuit, which concurs with the prevailing neurobiological model of OCD, but also in limbic regions outside of this circuit. We also observed that different symptoms were associated with distinct neurobiological alterations: obsessing symptoms were related to alterations in limbic regions; doubt/checking symptoms were associated with changes in the ventral cognitive CSTC loop, the insula and regions mediating frontal processing; ordering symptoms were associated with alterations in the ventral cognitive and sensorimotor CSTC loops and the superior parietal cortex; hoarding symptoms were related to alterations in different CSTC loops, suggesting a larger CSTC alteration. Structural changes related to ordering symptoms were specific to boys under 10 years of age, whereas structural and functional changes associated with hoarding symptoms were specific to children over 10 years of age, especially to girls, which suggests that these demographic groups may be more susceptible to developing such symptoms. Finally, we identified polymorphisms in the GRM7 and GNAQ genes, involved in the modulation of glutamate neurotransmission, and in the PARVA gene, associated with the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, that predisposed to an increase in the attractor properties of the hippocampus, linked to total OCSs. We also found polymorphisms in the ATP1B1 and TESC genes, involved in the maintenance of electrochemical gradients, that predisposed and protected, respectively, to an increase in the attractor properties of the superior parietal cortex, related to ordering symptoms.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to examine the dimensionality of obsessive beliefs and their relationship to the varied symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Research and expert consensus has suggested that six belief domains are most relevant to OCD and suggest that these domains are closely related. In the first study 136 student participants completed measures of belief domains, OCD symptoms, and anxiety and depression. Correlation and principal component analysis suggested that belief domains were not in fact distinct. A partial correlation analysis demonstrated that summed scores of all the obsessive belief domains were significantly related to all measured OCD symptom subtypes, with the effects of anxiety and depression partialled out. Obsessive belief was most related to obsession symptoms and least to washing and neutralising symptoms. Potential clinical implications are suggested. Recently another belief construct concerning the ego-dystonic nature of intrusive thoughts has been implicated in the development and maintenance of OCD. The second study therefore attempted to determine the psychometric properties of the first available measure of this construct. 116 student participants completed this measure. Principal components analysis was used to replicate findings of an initial validation study with a student sample conducted by the authors of the scale. The analysis confirmed that ego-dystonic beliefs had four dimensions that could be characterised as Implication of Thoughts for Personality, Inconsistency of Thoughts with Morality, Dislike of Thoughts and Irrationality of Thoughts. Clinical and theoretical issues arising from both studies are discussed.

Abstract:
Aims: A case-control study is done aiming(i)to explore the prevalence of OCSs and OCD among patients with Schizophrenia treated with Clozapine(Target group)in comparison with those treated with Haloperidol(Control group), (ii) to identify the associative factors in relationship with OCSs and OCD in Schizophrenia patients treated with Clozapine in comparison with Haloperidol , (iii)to find out predictors for the increase of OCSs and OCD among patients treated with Clozapine in comparison with Haloperidol. All these information may contribute to the understanding of the underlying etiology of OCSs and OCD. Method: Sample is comprised with patients aged 18-65 who meet the diagnostic criteria of Schizophrenia-spectrum disorder based on ICD 10 and retrieval of medical records. A total of 120 patients, comprising 30 males and 30 females patients currently prescribed with Clozapine(Target group)whereas30 male and 30 female patients are currently prescribed with Haloperidol (Control group)were identified from the Schizophrenia outpatient clinic in the same hospital. Both groups will be matched with gender. Obsessive compulsive symptoms were measured with the Chinese version of Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale to rate the severity of the symptoms. The severity of Schizophrenia symptoms was rated by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, and the Clinical Global Impression was used to measure severity symptoms in general. The social functioning of patient was rated by The Social and Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale(SOFAS). A clinical interview questionnaire was developed to determine the social and demographic characteristics, as well as other clinical features of the disorder. It included patient’s age, frequency of hospitalisation, age of onset and duration of Schizophrenia, age of onset and duration of OCSs and OCD and age of first hospitalisation, Duration of Untreated Psychosis (DUP) and current antipsychotic medication dosage( Chlorpromazine equivalent dose). Results: From the 120 patients identified and approached, 96 (80%) patients (48 male and 48 female patients) were consented for the study. The current study found that among those prescribed with Clozapine (Target group), there were 26.5% comorbid with OCSs and OCD, whereas none patients reported OCSs and OCD among the Haloperidol Control group. Patients with OCSs and OCD were significantly correlated with PANSS Positive Syndrome Score and PANSS Total Syndrome Score factors analysis by the N Par test of Mann-Whitney U, Wilcoxon W and Z score for Asymp. Using correlations test analysis, the most significantly factors to OCSs and OCD are Clozapine (Target group), PANSS Positive Syndrome Score and PANSS Total Syndrome Score. Result showed that those three factors cannot be the prediction of OCSs and OCD from the Binary logistic regression analysis.

Abstract:
A number of theoretical perspectives have been taken in the development of cognitive models of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Three cognitive models dominate the current literature. These models focus upon: inflated responsibility (Salkovskis, 1985); thought-action fusion (Rachman, 1993); and meta-cognitive beliefs (Wells and Matthews, 1994; Wells, 2000). The aims of this study were to develop a measure of meta-cognition for obsessive compulsive symptoms (the Thought-Fusion Instrument) based on the Wells (2000) domains of meta-cognition, and to establish its preliminary psychometric properties. The research also aimed at examining the association between cognitive factors and obsessive-compulsive symptoms, as a means of evaluating the cognitive models of OCD. In particular, the ability of inflated responsibility and meta-cognitions to predict obsessive-compulsive symptoms was tested. It was hypothesised that responsibility and specific meta-cognitive beliefs would be positively correlated with obsessive-compulsive symptoms. It was also hypothesised that the relationship between responsibility and obsessivecompulsive symptoms would be statistically dependent on meta-cognition. Furthermore, meta-cognitions would correlate with obsessive-compulsive symptoms independently of responsibility. The results demonstrated adequate reliability and validity for the Thought-Fusion Instrument (TFI). All of the hypotheses were supported. The results showed that both responsibility and meta-cognitions were positively associated with obsessive compulsive symptoms. Meta-cognitions emerged as independent predictors of such symptoms whereas responsibility did not. These findings and their clinical implications are discussed in the context of the three theoretical models described. The limitations of the present research are outlined, along with suggestions for future studies.

Abstract:
Background: Accommodation of symptoms related to obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is common and has been associated with greater OCD symptom severity. in addition to poorer treatment outcome. Levels of accommodation also seem to be associated with family/carer mental health. However, not all families/carers accommodate the OCD symptoms to the same degree and it remains unclear as to why this variability in levels of accommodation exists. Aims: This study examines a theoretical model that suggests accommodating behaviours mediate the relationship between distress tolerance (more specifically, intolerance of uncertainty (IU) and tolerance of negative emotions; TNE) in a significant other living with someone with OCD and OCD symptom severity. Method: Thirty two adults experiencing symptoms of OCD and someone who lived with them completed a survey comprising of screening questions, demographic information and self-report questionnaires (total N=64). Results: The mediation analysis found that the 95% confidence intervals crossed zero, showing that levels of relational accommodation did not significantly mediate the relationship between IU or TNE in the significant other and OCD symptom severity. Furthermore, IV and TNE did not significantly predict levels of accommodation to the OCD symptoms. Levels of accommodation predicted OCD symptom severity (p<.05), but this did not remain significant when controlling for mental health in the significant other living with someone with OCD.

Abstract:
This chapter evidence for a relationship between obsessive-compulsive disorder and psychosis, in some patients. Obsessive-compulsive symptoms are common in individuals with schizophrenia; this ‘schizo-obsessional’ population has been relatively little studied and presents marked clinical challenges. Longitudinal studies suggest that OC symptoms precede psychosis in some patients but develop later in illness in others; they can be induced by some second-generation antipsychotics. Neurobiological and cognitive psychological studies suggest that schizo-obsessional patients have greater impairment in several domains than those with schizophrenia or OC symptoms alone. The literature on pharmacological treatment of this patient population, which is limited, is review.

Abstract:
Backgroud: In cases of severe treatment refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), neurosurgical therapy can be applied, in two possible ways: anterior capsulotomy (AC) or deep brain stimulation (DBS). Objectives: This study aims to clarify whether surgical intervention is able to reduce obsessions and compulsions, using the Yale-Brown obsessive-compulsive scale (Y-BOCS). Design and setting: we performed a systematic review of studies available in four databases from 2000 to 2020. Methods: the serch was performed using variations of descriptors: “OCD”, “DBS” and “anterior capsulotomy”; only studies that respect the eligibility criteria predefined were included. Results: After online research, 9 eligible articles were identified, containing a total of 129 patients. Global Y-BOCS score reduction percentage was 47,81% and global responders percentage at 68,1%. The Y-BOCS reduction percentage by DBS was 43,18% and clinical response rate was 62,33%, with two remission cases. In comparison, AC led to a reduction of 52.25%; a response rate of 73.88% and 5 remission cases. The adverse effects seen were varied and depend on the type of procedure and each individual. Conclusion: The data collected support the hypothesis that surgical intervention reduces the Y-BOCS scale and consequently the symptoms of OCD; it also generates a significant clinical response. DBS showed less clinical response and remission, but it has the advantage of being a reversible therapy and producing fewer adverse effects; but it does have some relative disadvantages in relation to AC, which may be overcome by technological advances.

Abstract:
Introduction: Comorbidity of personality and substance use disorders, including prescription drug abuse, is common in clinical practice. We present a case report of a patient with a diagnosis of a personality disorder and symptoms of modafinil dependence. Case report: 33-year-old male, single, unemployed for over 3 years. He started psychological treatment at the age of 17 due to anxiety symptoms. Since the age of 21 he had irregular consultations with several psychiatrists in private practice. He received several diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder and personality disorder. In one of the consultations, modafinil 100mg was prescribed twice daily to alleviate depressive symptoms. The patient gradually increased the dose to up to 1000mg a day. He presented for a consultation in our psychiatric hospital claiming he had been trying to reduce the dose of the drug. He had a fast speech and showed aggressive behavior, reported intrusive suicidal and homicidal thoughts, and had recent episodes of aggressive behavior requiring police intervention. Hospitalization was proposed for discontinuation of the psychostimulant medication. Discussion and conclusions: Modafinil is a central nervous system stimulant, pharmacologically different from other stimulants. It is approved in Portugal for the treatment of excessive somnolence associated with narcolepsy. However, it is often used off label in several countries as an adjunctive treatment for symptoms of depression or fatigue associated with cancer or neurologic diseases. Although modafinil is typically associated with low abuse potential, case reports have been presented in the literature describing patterns of abuse and dependence of this drug. It is important that clinicians prescribe it with caution, bearing in mind patients' past consumption patterns and traits and that may increase the risk of abuse, such as high novelty seeking and reward sensitivity and low agreeableness and conscientiousness.
