- Title
Comorbidity of obsessive-compulsive disorder and substance use disorder: a new heuristic.
- Authors
Cuzen, Natalie L.; Stein, Dan J.; Lochner, Christine; Fineberg, Naomi A.
- Abstract
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and substance use disorder share several aspects of phenomenology and may be underpinned by a common mechanism with compulsivity at the core. Despite this overlap, the two disorders show a variable pattern of comorbidity. Here, we review the current evidence for comorbidity across clinical and epidemiological studies, and propose a new heuristic for substance use comorbidity in OCD, based on a hypothetical threshold of OCD severity.
