Several studies have investigated the pathway to psychiatric care. There are no results available for OCD.
Therefore, 23 patients with OCD were recruited among individuals seeking treatment at our university hospital outpatient clinic for anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders. All patients underwent a semistructured interview aimed at investigating their individual pathways to psychiatric care, to their experiences in the health system and to the first appearances of the psychiatric disorder.
Those affected often trivialize and normalize the first symptoms of OCD. Also, in many cases, family members of OCD-patients do not understand the first symptoms of OCD. Contrary to patients with depression and anxiety disorder, OCD-patients often choose psychiatrists as their first professional contact.
The first symptoms of the disorder must be diagnosed at an early stage in order to provide the patients with the acknowledged therapy for OCD.
多项研究调查了寻求精神科护理的途径。目前尚无关于强迫症(OCD)的相关结果。
因此,在我校医院门诊寻求焦虑症和强迫症治疗的患者中招募了23名强迫症患者。所有患者均接受了半结构化访谈,旨在调查他们寻求精神科护理的个人途径、在卫生系统中的经历以及精神障碍的首次出现情况。
患者常常轻视强迫症的首发症状并将其正常化。此外,在许多情况下,强迫症患者的家庭成员并不理解强迫症的首发症状。与抑郁症和焦虑症患者不同,强迫症患者通常选择精神科医生作为他们的首个专业联系人。
为了给患者提供公认的强迫症治疗方法,该疾病的首发症状必须在早期得到诊断。
