Substance/Medication-Induced Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorder
Prevalence
In the general population, the very limited data that are available indicate that substance induced obsessive-compulsive and related disorder is very rare.
Symptoms
Obsessions, compulsions, skin picking, hair pulling, other body-focused repetitive behaviors, or other symptoms characteristic of the obsessive-compulsive and related disorders predominate in the clinical picture.
There is evidence from the history, physical examination, or laboratory findings of both:
The symptoms developed during or soon after substance intoxication or withdrawal or after exposure to a medication.
The involved substance/medication is capable of producing the symptoms.
The disturbance is not better explained by an obsessive-compulsive and related disorder that is not substance/medication-induced.
The disturbance does not occur exclusively during the course of a delirium.
The disturbance causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
