“…The present study is consistent with previous literature that has demonstrated a significant benefit in quality of life with CBT [10][11][12][13][14][15] and with prior literature on the benefits of BMT [16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. The effects of combining CBT and BMT in the management of anxiety disorders is a value addition to the literature especially from India.…”

“…Although psychological treatments for OCD such as cognitive-behavioural therapy and exposure and response prevention have been shown to improve both OCD symptom severity and quality of life, 34 this effect is greater for treatment responders, 35 and people with comorbid depression have been shown to demonstrate a poorer response to treatment. 20,21 Indeed, a study examining whether varying pretreatment depression levels predicted treatment response to intensive exposure and response prevention reported that none of the severely depressed patients were deemed treatment responders in terms of clinically significant change.…”

Objective: To compare the quality of life of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) with and without depression comorbidity. Method: Treatment-seeking outpatients (n = 56) with OCD (n = 28) or comorbid OCD and major depressive disorder (MDD) (n = 28), matched by age, sex, and antidepressant medication use, completed a multidimensional measure of quality of life. Results: Patients with comorbid OCD and MDD reported significantly greater decrements in their subjective feelings, social relations, and a composite measure of general activities (for example, overall well-being and life satisfaction) in comparison with patients with OCD without MDD. These differences were not owing to the presence of other Axis I comorbid disorders. Conclusions: Treatments addressing depression comorbidity in the context of primary OCD are required to improve the quality of life of this severely affected population of OCD sufferers.

“…In this population there is no QoL improvement after treatment. 19 The fact that children have a shorter duration of the disease and therefore respond better to treatment may affect the future of their children's well-being. However, further studies with the aim of evaluating if this improvement happens in all OCD symptoms dimensions should be done.…”

RESUMOIntrodução: A perturbação obsessiva-compulsiva foi apontada como uma das doenças mais debilitantes do mundo desenvolvido.Contudo, muito pouco é conhecido sobre esta doença relativamente ao modo como ela afeta a qualidade de vida das crianças. Material e Métodos:Conduzimos uma pesquisa na PubMed e Thomson Reuters Web Of Science usando os seguintes termos de pesquisa: 'Quality of life', 'Obsessive-compulsive disorder', 'Child', 'Pediatrics' e 'Adolescent'. Dos 138 artigos obtidos, cinco correspondiam aos objetivos desta revisão. Analisámos a qualidade de vida de crianças com perturbação obsessiva-compulsiva comparando com a população geral e procurando a relação com outras variáveis clinicas como o sexo, idade, comorbilidades, categoria de sintomas, severidade dos sintomas e acomodação familiar.Resultados: Apesar dos estudos não serem concordantes relativamente às diferentes dimensões analisadas, os nossos resultados apontam para um decréscimo global da qualidade de vida em crianças com perturbação obsessiva-compulsiva. A presença de comorbilidades, a severidade dos sintomas e as obsessões de agressão/dano são as variáveis que têm maior influência na qualidade de vida dos pacientes.Discussão: O reduzido número de artigos encontrados e o facto de estes apresentarem uma metodologia extremamente heterogénea torna difícil alcançar conclusões robustas. Apesar disto, os nossos resultados são concordantes com estudos realizados em adultos.Conclusão: A qualidade de vida em crianças e adolescentes deve ser melhor explorada em futuros estudos. Sugerimos a introdução da qualidade de vida como instrumento usado rotineiramente para avaliar a resposta ao tratamento e evolução do paciente. Palavras-chave:Adolescente; Criança; Qualidade de Vida; Perturbação Obsessiva-Compulsiva. ABSTRACT Introduction:Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a psychiatric disorder stated as one of the most debilitating diseases in the developed world. However, not much is known about how this disease impairs patients' quality of life in children. Material and Methods:We conducted a research in PubMed and Thomson Reuters Web Of Science using the following terms:'Quality of life', 'Obsessive-compulsive disorder', 'Child', 'Pediatrics' and 'Adolescent'. Of the 138 papers retrieved with this search, five articles corresponded to the aim of this review. We analyzed quality of life in children with obsessive-compulsive disorder comparing with general population and searching the relation with other clinical variables such as sex, age, comorbidities, symptoms dimension, symptoms severity, family accommodation and quality of life.Results: Albeit studies results not being concordant regarding the different dimensions analyzed, our findings pointed to an overall decrease of quality of life in children with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The presence of co-morbidities, symptoms severity and obsessions with harm/aggression content are the variables that have a higher influence in quality of life levels. Discussion:The small number of articles found and the fact...
