Obsessive-compulsive spectrum

MUDr. Karel Chromý CSc
Katedra psychiatrie IPVZ, Praha

The concept of the obsessive-compulsive spectrum stems from the putative relatedness of some disorders (obsessive-compulsive, impulsive, and compulsive-impulsive) classified currently under different headings. In spite of some reservations the concept brings interresting suggestions especially for the pharmacotherapy of subsumed disorders.

Keywords: obsessive, compulsive, impulsive, spectrum of disorders
