Overview

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) may be classified into three categories based on co-morbiditiy into OCD simole complex, OCD co-morbid tic-related class, and OCD co-morbid affective-related class.

Classification

Subclassification Based on Co-morbidity

• OCD can be classified into three categories based on co-morbidity:

1. An OCD simplex class, where major depressive disorder (MDD) is the most common additional disorder.
2. An OCD co-morbid tic-related class, where tics are prominent and affective syndromes are considerably rarer.
3. An OCD co-morbid affective-related class where panic disorder and affective syndromes are common.
