There is a second wave of research following the interest in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) that explores a vast number of other conditions with some superficial similarity to OCD. These have in common an inability to delay or inhibit repetitive behaviors. While some interesting pharmacological treatment trials have emerged, few of the studies have truly explored the idea of a spectrum from the neurobiological point of view. Only for Tourette's Disorder, Trichotillomania and possibly Sydenham's Chorea have there been convincing biological evidence for continuity with OCD.
继对强迫症（OCD）的研究热潮之后，出现了第二轮研究，该研究探索了大量其他与强迫症有一些表面相似之处的病症。这些病症的共同之处在于无法延迟或抑制重复行为。虽然已经出现了一些有趣的药物治疗试验，但很少有研究从神经生物学角度真正探讨谱系的概念。只有抽动秽语综合征、拔毛癖以及可能的 Sydenham 舞蹈病有令人信服的生物学证据表明与强迫症存在连续性。
