Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Epidemiology Outlook 2023-2032: Prevalence, Diagnosis, and Forecast

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder - Epidemiology Forecast - 2032" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has gained significant attention in the DSM-5, where it now has its own chapter. Despite this, the diagnostic criteria for OCD remain largely unchanged from DSM-IV, focusing on obsessions and compulsions. However, DSM-5 introduced two specifiers: insight and tic-related disorder.

OCD symptoms can persist for years before seeking treatment, leading to a chronic waxing and waning course, with some patients experiencing episodes of deterioration and recovery. The diagnosis of OCD is established using DSM-5 criteria, and the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) is used to assess its severity.

Epidemiology and Prevalence

The prevalence of OCD in the 7MM (United States, EU4 countries - Germany, Spain, Italy, and France - United Kingdom, and Japan) is estimated using a patient-based model. In 2022, the total prevalent cases of OCD reached approximately 12,082,000, with the United States having the highest number of diagnosed cases (~2,156,000). Most diagnosed cases of OCD are severe, with 15% being mild, 35% moderate, and 50% severe. The United Kingdom had the lowest diagnosed prevalent population of OCD among the 7MM countries.

Forecast and Projections

The report provides historical and forecasted epidemiology data for OCD, including total prevalent and diagnosed cases, gender-specific, severity-specific, and age-specific cases for the 7MM countries from 2019 to 2032. The total prevalent cases of OCD are projected to increase during the forecast period. The United States contributed to 29% of the prevalent population of OCD in 2022, while EU4 and Japan accounted for around 53% and 18%, respectively.

Scope of the Report

The report encompasses key events, an executive summary, and a descriptive overview of OCD, covering its causes, signs, symptoms, pathogenesis, and diagnosis. The country-wise epidemiology segments and forecasts, as well as insights on disease progression and diagnosis rate growth potential, are provided. Patient stratification based on gender, age, and severity is also included, along with a review of current challenges in establishing the diagnosis.

Strengths of the Report

The report offers a 10-year forecast and comprehensive coverage of the 7MM countries, with a detailed epidemiology segmentation for OCD.

Conclusion

The report provides valuable insights into the epidemiology of obsessive-compulsive disorder, including prevalence, diagnosis, and forecasts in the 7MM countries. Understanding the prevalence and characteristics of OCD can aid in developing effective strategies for diagnosis, treatment, and patient care in the future.
