Overview
This screening test for obsessive-compulsive disorder is designed as a guide to find out whether you show symptoms similar to those of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) is considered as a gold standard to screen for the symptoms and severity of obsessive compulsive disorder.[1]
Screening
- Some tests like a questionnaire can be done for initial screening for obsessive compulsive-disorder but only a trained healthcare professional can make this diagnosis.[2] [3]
- The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) is administered by a clinician and is considered a valid screening tool in primary care settings. It is classified as a gold standard to screen for the symptoms and severity of obsessive compulsive disorder. The Y-BOCS assesses 64 obsessions and compulsion along wit their severity.[1]
