Obsessive Compulsive & Related Disorders
This section of the website describes the four disorders that, along with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, make up the Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorders section of the DSM V (Diagnostics and Statistics Manual — the recognized format for the classification of mental disorders used in North America).
Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorders include:
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
- Trichotillomania (hair pulling disorder)
- Skin Picking Disorder (excoriation)
- Hoarding Disorder
- Body Dysmorphic Disorder
The five above disorders are considered to be closely related enough to warrant grouping them in their own section in the DSM V.
