Advances in the last 4 decades have enormously improved the lives of persons with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a condition once thought to be both rare and untreatable. We now know that OCD is both common and treatable. Most individuals with OCD experience symptom relief after receiving evidence-based psychological and/or pharmacological treatments that were initially developed throughout the 1970s and 1990s (namely, cognitive-behavior therapy [CBT] and serotonin reuptake inhibitors). However, challenges remain.

当症状改善得还不够时，是否应该进行强迫症的下一代干预？

过去四十年来的进步极大地改善了强迫症患者的生活，强迫症曾经被认为是罕见且无法治愈的。我们现在知道，强迫症很常见而且可以治疗。大多数患有强迫症的人在接受基于证据的心理和/或药理治疗后会出现症状缓解，这些治疗最初是在1970年代和1990年代开发的（即认知行为疗法[CBT]和血清素再摄取抑制剂）。但是，挑战仍然存在。
