“… 80 , 81 Unlike many psychiatric disorders that are likely to be stigmatised in many traditionally religious societies that subscribe to scriptural teachings, a high level of health seeking behaviour, in both biomedical and traditional healing settings, has been observed for OCD. 82 , 83 It has been hypothesised that the focus on purity, cleanliness, thought control, morality and sexuality could trigger the development of OCD. 84 In the general population, OCD has been associated with abnormalities in the frontostriatal region of the brain, an anatomical region that often undergoes microstructural damage due to TBI.…”

Countries in the 'global south' are characterized by factors that contribute to the increased incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the prevalence of neuropsychiatric sequelae following a TBI, specifically among the Western Asian, South Asian, and African regions of the global south. A literature review was conducted until August 20, 2021, for publications that measured psychiatric or cognitive impairment after TBI from the 83 countries that constitute the aforementioned regions. The main databases, such as PsycINFO, Scopus, PubMed/MEDLINE, ProQuest (English), Al-Manhal (Arabic) and Google Scholar, were selected for grey literature. Following the evaluation of the articles using the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines, the random effects model was used to estimate the prevalence of depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSD), sleep disturbance related to TBI (TBI-SD), obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), and cognitive impairment. Of 56 non-duplicated studies identified by the initial search, 27 studies were eligible for systematic review and 23 for meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of depression in a total sample of 1882 was 35·35% (95% CI=24·64–46·87%), of anxiety in a total sample of 1211 was 28·64% (95% CI=17·99–40·65%), of PTSD in a total sample of 426 was 19·94% (95% CI=2·35–46·37%), of OCD in a total sample of 313 was 19·48% (95% CI=0·23–58·06%), of TBI–SD in a total sample of 562 was 26·67% (95% CI=15·63–39·44%), and cognitive impairment in a total sample of 941 was 49·10% (95% CI=31·26–67·07%). To date, this is the first critical review that has examined the spectrum of post–TBI neuropsychiatric sequelae in the specified regions. While existing studies lack homogeneous data due to variability in the diagnostic tools and outcome measures utilised, the reported prevalence rates are significant and comparable to statistics from the global north.

“…In addition to the shortcomings mentioned above, religious OCD, has its own challenges (for example, the client with religious OCD may not feel safe in terms of religious knowledge in the therapy or they have difficulty in distinguishing obsessions from religious beliefs) has increased the need for religious models (Huppert & Siev, 2010;Siev et al, 2017;. As the literature is analyzed, the CBT oriented treatments directed to religious OCD are sorted into two main categories by Toprak (2022) which are the religiously sensitive regular CBT (Abramowitz et al, 2004;Abramowitz & Jacoby, 2014;Peris & Rozenman, 2017;Siev & Huppert, 2017;Abramowitz & Hellberg, 2020) and original treatments weaving religious knowledge and practices into the framework of CBT (Akuchekian et al, 2015;Aouchekian et al, 2017;Md Rosli at al., 2018;Md Rosli et al, 2019). For example, Religious Integrated CBT is the first manualized model of such an integrative treatment in the field of religious-spiritual integrated psychotherapies (Pearce et al, 2015).…”

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is one of the most resistant disorders in the field of psychopathology. As this disorder challenges clinicians in pharmacological treatments; In psychotherapies, it brings together resistance in the areas of therapeutic alliance and healing. ERP, which is the gold standard, also fails when a full consensus cannot be achieved in the cognitive process. The Vesvese Treatise, was written for people with religious obsessions. The 4T Model (the first letters of the four cognitive levels in Turkish), adapted from the content of this work, was integrated into the classical treatment rationale of patients with CBT, and by using it in the fields of "formation and source of obsession", "normalization" and "cognitive restructuring", the stage of individualization of the CBT model for the patient was provided on the 4T model. The results obtained in 4 OCD Resistant Cases treated with this method showed that the model made a significant difference especially in the field of "thought-action fusion", and that it was convincing and practical in the "cognitive restructuring" process with the hierarchy of thought it presented.

Abstract“Scrupulosity” is a common but understudied subtype of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) characterized by religious obsessions and compulsions. Although scrupulosity is a common manifestation of OCD, it has not been adequately addressed in treatment studies. The aim of this study was to understand the conceptual nuances of scrupulosity, its diagnosis, the unique differences in conceptualization and interventions during its treatment, the specific tools needed to monitor the prognosis of the pathology, and the limitations of existing studies through a systematic review. Following PRISMA guidelines, a literature search was conducted, and 13 relevant studies were found in Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed, EbscoHost + Ulakbim, Wiley Online Library, ScienceDirect, Taylor & Francis Online, and Web of Science databases. Two researchers independently rated the included articles using the MMAT and then met to compare the ratings. Disagreements were resolved through discussion and consensus was reached. There was a general lack of clarity in the conceptualization, diagnosis, and measurement of the severity of scrupulosity, and the content of religious or cultural interventions in the studies was not always clear. For future studies, further clarification, and systematization of the phenomenological features of scrupulosity and related epidemiological and empirical/experimental treatment research are needed.
