Acute Trauma and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: Evidence from October 7th, 2023
These findings provide the first direct evidence that acute trauma can trigger new-onset and worsening OCD symptoms. Consistent with the diathesis-stress model, the results underscore the role of environmental stressors in OCD etiology and highlight the need for screening for OCD in trauma-exposed populations.
