Research on the Impacts of Obsessive- Compulsive Disorder and Its Intervention Effects

Abstract

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common and severely mental illness that affects people, their families, and society. Existing research demonstrates the complexity of obsessive-compulsive disorder is characterized by intrusive obsessions and repetitive compulsions and is often accompanied by issues like melancholy and anxiety. While OCD carries notable negative impacts, its study focuses on the dual effects of OCD interventions: the potential risks alongside therapeutic benefits. The study reviews the findings of clinical trials, theoretical models, and epidemiological investigations using methods of literature-based analysis. Critical analysis of important therapies, including new approaches like attention bias modification (ABM), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The findings of the study indicate that while SSRI and ERP remain firstline therapies, they have drawbacks such as high dropout rates, partial remission, and adverse effects related to decreased compliance. While promising, new approaches like neuroregulation and digital CBT have created real issues. The research highlighta the fact that OCD treatments are not always helpful and might possibly make symptoms worse if not carried out correctly. As a result, it is essential to monitor both possible injuries and the course of treatment. To optimize advantages and reduce dangers, early discovery, individualized care, cultural sensitivity, and ongoing monitoring are essential.
