Evidence: CR: Pertusa et al 2010 • TM: Phillips and Stein 2015 • EO: American Psychiatric Association 2013b |
2. Identify when symptoms of OCRDs are the result of some other condition, such as:
• stimulant drugs • basal ganglia lesions • Alzheimer’s disease (which may lead to clutter suggestive of hoarding disorder) • scabies or medical condition causing pruritus (which may mimic excoriation disorder) • seborrheic dermatitis or tinea capitis or medical condition causing skin inflammation (which may mimic trichotillomania) Evidence: TM: Phillips and Stein 2015 • EO: American Psychiatric Association 2013b |
3. Identify and diagnose patients with “other specified” OCRDs, such as:
• BDD-like disorder in the presence of actual flaws in appearance • body-focused repetitive behavior disorder (e.g., nail biting, lip biting, cheek chewing) • obsessional jealousy • Koro (intense anxiety that the penis or vulva and nipples will recede into the body) • olfactory reference disorder • Olfactory reference disorder (preoccupation with the inaccurate belief that one emits a foul or unpleasant body odor, which is often accompanied by repetitive behaviors, such as checking) Evidence: TM: Phillips and Stein 2015 • EO: American Psychiatric Association 2013b |
