Disability and family burden in obsessive-compulsive disorder

Abstract

This paper reviews 2 aspects of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): impairment in functioning and family burden associated with OCD. Impairment is evident from epidemiological and clinical studies in several areas, particularly in occupational and social maladjustment. Clinic outpatients show a range of impairment associated with OCD, while hospitalized patients exhibit consistently severe disabilities that rival those of patients with schizophrenia. Although behaviourally and medication-treated patients improve in adjustment levels, there is some evidence of persistent impairment, particularly in social and work functioning. Several studies support extensive family involvement and accommodation of OCD symptoms, as well as the considerable burden placed on families who reduce their social activities and increase their isolation and distress. Findings are equivocal regarding OCD and marital distress. Predictors of treatment outcome do not include marital dissatisfaction, but may include expressed anger and criticism. With regard to treatment, family support groups are popular but untested interventions, and family-assisted individual and group behaviour therapy have demonstrated good outcomes in limited trials.
