Compulsive hoarding is a debilitating problem that often associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and personality disorder. However, the precise nosology of compulsive has yet to be determined.Participants were 25 patients severe OCD 27 without OCD. Both groups carefully characterized compared on following sociodemographic clinical variables: phenomenology behavior, severity other symptoms, axis I II psychopathology, adaptive functioning. For comparison purposes, individuals also...
Hoarding disorder is typified by persistent difficulties discarding possessions, resulting in significant clutter that obstructs the individual's living environment and produces considerable functional impairment. The prevalence of hoarding disorder, as defined DSM-5, currently unknown.To provide a estimate specific to DSM-5 delineate demographic, behavioural health features characterise individuals with disorder.We conducted two-wave epidemiological study 1698 adult individuals, originally...
Hoarding disorder is a new mental in DSM-5. It classified alongside OCD and other presumably related disorders the Obsessive-Compulsive Related Disorders chapter. We examined cognitive performance two distinct groups comprising individuals with both severe hoarding, hoarding without comorbid OCD. Participants completed executive function tasks assessing inhibitory control, flexibility, spatial planning, probabilistic learning reversal decision making. Compared to matched healthy control...
Hoarding is associated with significant impairment. Although traditionally considered as a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), some authors have proposed that pathological hoarding could be stand alone condition. The prevalence behaviour has been shown to high in countries, but little known about the and correlates non-clinical population Italy.We studied self-reported using Italian version Saving Inventory-Revised, well association between various clinical correlates, including...
Background Hoarding symptoms have been described in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Furthermore, hoarding disorder (HD) may display some ASD-like features. In order to further refine the diagnostic boundaries of HD, we examined presence autistic traits and theory mind deficits HD behavior patients ASD. Methods Two hundred twenty-one participants five groups (HD, ASD, obsessive–compulsive (OCD), anxiety (AD), healthy controls (HC)) were administered measures (Autism-Spectrum...
Recent work suggests that neurotrophic factors may contribute to the genetic susceptibility obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Among other clinical dimensions, presence of hoarding obsessions and compulsions has been shown be correlated with a number neuroimaging findings, as well different pattern inheritance. We used linkage disequilibrium (LD)-mapping approach investigate whether tyrosine kinase receptor type 3 (NTRK3), high-affinity neurotrophin (NT-3), plays role in increasing OCD....
The DSM-5 Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum Sub-Workgroup is recommending the creation of a new diagnostic category named Hoarding Disorder (HD). validity and acceptability proposed criteria have yet to be formally tested.Obsessive-compulsive disorder/hoarding experts random members American Psychiatric Association (APA) were shown eight brief clinical vignettes (four cases meeting for HD, three with hoarding behaviour secondary other mental disorders, one subclinical behaviour) asked decide...
Abstract Introduction Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a clinically heterogeneous condition characterized by few consistent, temporally stable symptom dimensions. The Dimensional Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (DY-BOCS) recently developed instrument that allows patient and clinician ratings of dimension-specific severity, as well estimates global severity in patients with OCD. Methods We examined the psychometric properties DY-BOCS sample 128 European adult Results results...
Background The same executive dysfunctions and alterations in neuroimaging tests (both functional structural) have been found obsessive-compulsive patients their first-degree relatives. These neurobiological findings are considered to be intermediate markers of the disease. aim our study was assess verbal non-verbal memory unaffected relatives, order determine whether these neuropsychological functions constitute a new cognitive marker for disorder (OCD). Method Recall use organizational...
Background: Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is a heterogeneous condition, which can be expressed as various potentially overlapping symptom dimensions. In clinical samples, some of these dimensions are associated with increased familial risk for OCD and appear to (intercorrelated within pairs affected family members), whereas others not. The goal this study was determine whether obsessive–compulsive (OC) in nonclinical sample. Methods: OC negative affect were assessed 184 female...
