Three major changes will probably be introduced in the DSM-5 regarding obsessive–compulsive disorder: OCD will be classified in the diagnostic category ‘obsessive–compulsive and related disorders’, the clinician should consider the degree of insight into a symptomatology (good to poor insight) and a subtype of tic-related OCD will be introduced. The recommended treatment for OCD is CBT, in severe cases with addition of SSRI treatment.
