Ihe mgbaru ọsọ: To assess the rates of co-occurring putative ‘behavioural addictions’ in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Ụzọ: Twenty-three international centres specialising in the treatment of OCD were invited to participate in a survey of the rates of behavioural addictions and other relevant comorbidity within their samples.
Results: Sixteen of 23 (69.6%) invited centres from 13 countries had sufficient data to participate in the survey. The use of validated diagnostic tools was discrepant, with most centres relying on a ‘clinical diagnosis’ to diagnose behavioural addictions. The final sample comprised of 6916 patients with a primary diagnosis of OCD. Onu ego ndi a gosiputara n'omume riri ahu bu ndi a: 8.7% maka ijiri nsogbu intaneti, 6.8% maka nmekorita nwoke na nwanyi nmeko, 6.4% maka izu ahia, 4.1% maka nsogbu ịgba chaa chaa na 3.4% maka nsogbu egwuregwu ịntanetị.
Mkpebi: Behavioural addictions should be better assessed for patients with OCD. The absence of diagnostic scales developed specifically for behavioural addictions and overlapping obsessive-compulsive phenomena such as compulsive checking of information on the internet may explain the relatively high rate of problematic internet use in this sample. The study encourages better efforts to assess and to conceptualise the relatedness of behavioural addictions to obsessive-compulsive ‘spectrum’ disorders.
