Obsessional Symptomatology and Adverse Mood States
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2018
Abstract
Patients suffering from obsessional neurosis without other psychiatric diagnosis were examined with reference to the association of the mood disorders of depression, anxiety, and outwardly and inwardly directed irritability. All mood disorders were common, and many occurred together in individual patients, but anxiety was the most prevelant. Inwardly directed irritability was significantly related to the overall severity of obsessions, and to the degree of handicap or interference in everyday life experienced by the patient.
