Abstract

obsessive compulsive disorder (ocd) is defined by the DSM-VI as an anxiety disorder that affects roughly 3 million Americans aged between 18 and 54 years of age. diagnosis is reached by identifying certain characteristics of behavior, both compulsive and obsessive, and care needs to be taken to ensure that the symptoms present are not attributable to other similar disorders.

Treatments for ocd include behavior modification therapies and in some cases medications although at this time there is no definitive cure for ocd.
