Obsessive-Compulsive and
Related Disorders Due to Another Medical Condition (OCRD-AMC) refer to a
category of mental health disorders where obsessive-compulsive symptoms arise directly
from another medical condition. These conditions can include neurological
disorders like Parkinson's disease, autoimmune disorders like PANDAS
(Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal
Infections), or brain injuries.
In OCRD-AMC, individuals
exhibit symptoms resembling those of traditional Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
(OCD), such as intrusive thoughts, repetitive behaviours, or compulsions.
However, these symptoms are a secondary manifestation of the underlying medical
condition rather than being primary OCD.
Given the complexity of
addressing both the medical and psychological aspects of OCRD-AMC, a
multidisciplinary approach involving healthcare providers from various
specialties, including neurology, psychiatry, and rehabilitation, is often
necessary to provide comprehensive care and support to individuals experiencing
these disorders.
