The bidirectional relationship between severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms and lifestyle factors in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder
Previous studies on other psychiatric disorders have found that unhealthy lifestyle factors are associated with more severe psychiatric symptoms. It appears that OCD might differ in these aspects. In the present study, drug and alcohol use, higher BMI, and a composite score of unhealthy lifestyle factors were not associated with more severe OCD symptoms and did not predict greater symptom severity two years later. However, consistent with finding…
Changes in insight throughout the natural four-year course of obsessive-compulsive disorder and its association with OCD severity and quality of life
These findings suggest that patients' levels of insight may change during the natural four-year course of OCD and that improvement in the level of insight have a positive association with improvement in OCD severity
Therapeutic Alliance and Treatment Outcome in Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
In the treatment of OCD, the strength of the therapeutic alliance contributes to outcomes, though to a limited extent. Effective OCD treatment involves the delivery of specific therapy interventions, in the context of a strong therapeutic alliance
The mental health impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on people with and without depressive, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive disorders
Predictors of Intensive Treatment in Patients With Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Background: Few studies have investigated which patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) do not recover through regular cognitive behavior therapy or pharmacotherapy and subsequently end up in intensive treatment like day treatment or inpatient treatment. Knowing the predictors of intensive treatment in these patients is significant because it could prevent intensive treatment. This study has identified predictors of intensive treatment …
Influence of religion on obsessive–compulsive disorder
Previous studies have suggested that specific features of religion such as religious denomination and level of religiosity might influence the severity of obsessive- compulsive disorder (OCD) and the occurrence of obsessive- compulsive (OC) cognitions, whereas others could not confirm these findings. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the relation between religion, OCD, and the occurrence of OC cognitions in a Dutch sample of OCD patients…
The Association of Early and Recent Psychosocial Life Stress With Leukocyte Telomere Length
OBJECTIVES: Chronic exposure to psychosocial stressors is related to worse somatic health. This association applies both to stressors early in life, such as childhood adversities, and more recent life stress, such as stressful life events. This study examined whether accelerated telomere shortening, as an indicator of cellular aging, might be an explanatory mechanism. METHODS: We examined whether childhood adversities and recent stressful life ev…
Comorbidity Patterns of Anxiety and Depressive Disorders in a Large Cohort Study
BACKGROUND: Comorbidity of depressive and anxiety disorders is common and has been shown to be a consistent predictor of chronicity. Comorbidity patterns among specific depressive and anxiety disorders have not been extensively reported. This study examines comorbidity patterns and temporal sequencing of separate depressive and anxiety disorders using data from a large psychiatric cohort. METHOD: Baseline data (N = 1,783) of the Netherlands Study…
Psychotherapy for depression in adults
The effectiveness of adding cognitive behavioural therapy aimed at changing lifestyle to managed diabetes care for patients with type 2 diabetes
Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN12666286
Prevention of anxiety and depression in the age group of 75 years and over
Late-life depression and anxiety are characterised by high prevalence, unfavourable prognosis, reduced quality of life, excess mortality and substantial societal costs. No health service, however well equipped, will be able to effectively treat all elderly with depression and anxiety. Therefore, development of (cost) effective means to prevent these disorders is very important
