Abnormal repetitive behaviors (ARBs) represent a diverse group of behaviors whose underlying mechanism is poorly understood. Their neurobiology likely involves several different neurotransmitter systems. These behaviors have been referred to as compulsive disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders and stereotypies. Underlying medical conditions and pain can often cause changes in behavior that are mistaken for ARBs. A complete medical work-up is always indicated prior to reaching a presumptive diagnosis. The frequency of ARBs can be reduced but not always eliminated with the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) in conjunction with behavior modification and environmental enrichment.
异常重复行为（ARBs）是一组多样的行为，其潜在机制尚不清楚。它们的神经生物学可能涉及几种不同的神经递质系统。这些行为被称为强迫性障碍、强迫症和刻板行为。潜在的医疗状况和疼痛常常会导致行为改变，而这些改变会被误认为是ARBs。在做出初步诊断之前，始终需要进行全面的医学检查。使用选择性5-羟色胺再摄取抑制剂（SSRIs）或三环类抗抑郁药（TCAs）结合行为矫正和环境优化，可以降低ARBs的发生频率，但不一定能消除。
