A Review on Anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in the COVID-19 Process

Abstract

Introduction: Covid-19, which emerged in Wuhan, China in 2019, has spread to many countries around the world and cases have been declared in clusters. It has been suggested that this pandemic process may cause psychiatric disorders or increase in pre-existing symptoms in addition to physical health problems (Banerjee, 2020). It has been stated that individuals with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) may be more affected by the Covid-19 epidemic compared to other psychiatric disorders. (Fineberg, et al., 2020). Objective: Could Covid-19 have caused obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors to be considered acceptable as a result of the effects of the process in the prognosis of individuals with OCD during the pandemic? Could it have triggered or increased the level of anxiety and depression, sleep problems, along with the symptoms that may accompany OCD? Can the process create a state of guilt or embarrassment for those with OCD to harbor the virus as carriers and the thought of spreading the virus to other individuals? The aim of the study was to seek answers to these questions, to address the conditions that may lead to changes in OCD prognosis, to provide a review of perspectives on OCD treatment, and to form a source for other studies for the creation of scientific literature. Conclusion: It has been revealed that individuals with OCD have increased during the Covid -19 pandemic process, but it has been observed that there are fewer studies in the literature on the condition of individuals with OCD (Banerjee, 2020). It has been understood, in this case, that more comprehensive studies with a holistic perspective are needed.
