ACT for OCD: Diagnostic Criteria and Differential Diagnosis

Kate-Morrison

Independent practice, Kate Morrison LLC, Sandy, Utah

Key Points

  1. For an OCD diagnosis, the individual needs to show obsessions, compulsions, or both.
  2. The obsessions, compulsions, or both need to be interfering with their life.
  3. Rule out common conditions: anxiety disorders, delusions, PTSD, suicidal or homicidal ideation, and other medical conditions.
  4. Assess the sudden onset of OCD symptoms to rule out medical conditions, such as autoimmune disorders.
  5. Separate between true risk of harm and OCD, especially in perinatal OCD.
