Clinical characteristics and family history in DSM-III obsessive- compulsive disorder
SA Rasmussen and MT Tsuang
The authors present the clinical characteristics, demographic features, and
family history of a clinical sample of 44 patients who met DSM-III criteria
for obsessive-compulsive disorder. Their findings are consistent with those
of previous epidemiologic studies completed before the introduction of
DSM-III with regard to phenomenology, course, and demographic
characteristics. Most of the 44 patients had concomitant or lifetime
histories of a major depressive disorder or another anxiety disorder. A
number of first-degree relatives of these patients had probable
obsessive-compulsive disorder or obsessive traits. The findings of this
study should prove useful in further epidemiologic, biologic, and
behavioral studies.
