Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is far more prevalent and frequently more severe than recognized previously. Behavior therapy with exposure and response-prevention has proven effective treatment, as have potent serotonin uptake inhibitors, especially clomipramine, despite a high relapse rate after drug discontinuation. These therapies are complementary and a combination of the two approaches shows great promise in the treatment of OCD.
强迫症（OCD）远比之前认为的更为普遍，且往往更为严重。暴露与反应阻止疗法已被证明是有效的行为治疗方法，强效血清素摄取抑制剂亦是如此，尤其是氯米帕明，尽管停药后复发率很高。这些疗法相辅相成，两种方法相结合在强迫症治疗中显示出巨大前景。
