Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is reviewed from an epidemiological perspective. OCD is defined according to the DSM-IV and ICD-10, with differences noted between these two classification systems. The epidemiological rubrics of quantity (prevalence), location (genetic methods and gender differences), cause (genetic etiology), and causal mechanisms (natural history and clinical course) are reviewed. The review concludes that more research is needed to further understand the epidemiology of OCD in children and adolescents, both from a Canadian and worldwide perspective.
本文从流行病学角度对强迫症(OCD)进行了综述。强迫症是根据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第四版(DSM-IV)和《国际疾病分类》第十版(ICD-10)来定义的,同时指出了这两种分类系统之间的差异。本文还综述了数量(患病率)、位置(遗传方法和性别差异)、病因(遗传病因)以及因果机制(自然病史和临床病程)等流行病学指标。综述得出结论,无论是从加拿大还是全球范围来看,都需要开展更多研究以进一步了解儿童和青少年强迫症的流行病学情况。
