Obsessive compulsive disorder in DSM-5

24213

There have been some changes of obsessive compulsive disorder in DSM-5 in terms of its classification and description. First of all, it has been suggested that the disorder should be out of a lower cap of the anxiety disorders and with DSM-5 a new heading has become an issue like obsessive compulsive disorder and related disorders. The ones that suggest the obsessive compulsive spectrum disorders fundamentally assume that the obsessive compulsive disorder and the disorders defined as related with the obsessive compulsive disorder come from the same etiologic origin unlike the other anxiety disorders. The purpose of this compilation is to mention on how obsessive compulsive disorder has been defined all along the history and what kind of conceptual changes it went through until DSM-5.
