Three recent advances have increased the importance of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) for the general psychiatrist. It is a more common disorder than previously realised, there are effective treatments, and the basic neurobiological substrate for the condition is being identified. This review will consider these advances but focus mainly on the practical aspects of assessing the condition and planning treatment.
