| Research Abstract |
We have continued the clinical researches on the biological validity and clinical utility of novel typological indicators of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). For instance, we comparatively examined the treatment strategies and outcomes dividing the 86 OCD patients according to symptom dimensions. As a result, OCD patients with hoarding dimension predominantly showed the treatment-resistance to typical treatment s for OCD such as SSRI or cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). To further strengthen the clinical utility and acceptability of symptom dimension, moreover, we tried to utilize it as categorical manner rather than dimensional manner according to the most predominate symptom dimension in each OCD patient. During the 3 years, I also proposed the standardized treatment guidelines for OCD in many journals utilizing the available treatment options in Japan.
