Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a common mental disorder characterized by persistent and uncontrollable obsessive concepts and compulsive behaviors. Obsessive concepts are recurring, disturbing thoughts, impulses, or images, while compulsive behaviors are repetitive behaviors or rituals performed to alleviate these uneasiness. Obsessive concepts are often associated with fear, anxiety, or doubt, while compulsive behaviors are behaviors that are performed to relieve these uneasy emotions. For example, a person may repeatedly check if the door lock is closed because they are worried about the house being invaded, or they may repeatedly wash their hands because they feel they are contaminated with bacteria. Although these behaviors temporarily relieve anxiety, they are often only temporary. Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder often feel troubled by their obsessive-compulsive ideas and behaviors. The exact cause of obsessive-compulsive disorder is not yet known, but studies suggest that genetic, biochemical and environmental factors may be related to their occurrence. Treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder usually involves the combined use of psychotherapy and drug therapy. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the most commonly used psychotherapy method that reduces symptoms by helping patients identify and change unhealthy thinking patterns and behavioral habits. Drug treatments usually include the Selective Serot Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) which is a commonly used tool to assess the severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The scale was developed by Yale University researchers and is designed to help clinicians and researchers evaluate and diagnose obsessive-compulsive disorder. The Y-BOCS consists of two main components: the Y-BOCS Obsessions Scale and the Y-BOCS Compulsive Scale. Each scale contains multiple items to evaluate the severity of obsessive-compulsive and compulsive behavior by scoring. Usually, the score ranges from 0 to 4, where 0 means no symptoms and 4 means the most severe symptoms. When assessing with Y-BOCS, clinicians or researchers conduct face-to-face interviews with patients asking about their obsessive-compulsive ideas and obsessive-compulsive behaviors. Based on the patient’s response, the evaluator adds the severity scores of each item to obtain a total score to determine the severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Y-BOCS is a widely used and recognized scale that helps doctors and researchers evaluate the severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms, monitor changes in symptoms, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. However, for any clinical evaluation tool, professional interpretation and analysis are crucial, so if you need to evaluate yourself or others, consult a professional doctor or mental health expert. If you want to know if you have obsessive-compulsive symptoms, you can complete this free online test. These tests may not diagnose whether you have obsessive-compulsive disorder, but can be used as a reference to help you better understand your condition. Note that if you think you may have obsessive-compulsive disorder or other mental disorders, please seek professional medical help as soon as possible.
