Harm avoidance and childhood adversities in patients with obsessive–compulsive disorder and their unaffected first‐degree relatives

Abstract: Our results provide further evidence for a diathesis-stress model of OCD. While patients and unaffected relatives share elevated levels of harm avoidance, supporting the role of harm avoidance as an endophenotype of OCD, a heightened severity of childhood adversity was only observed in patients. The assumed biological underpinnings of these findings are discussed.

“…Contrary to our hypothesis, we could not find any relationship between OCD symptom severity and CT severity/types of CT. Our finding is in line with previous clinical studies that found no significant relationship between CT and OCD severity [20][21][22]. In a meta-analysis suggesting that CTs are related to severity of compulsions but not the severity of obsessions, not only OCD but all Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Disorders were included, which might explain the difference between our results and the results of the meta-analysis [23].…”

“…When we look at the relationship between CTs and OCD severity and chronicity, there are inconsistent results in the literature. Some studies found a significant relationship with CTs and OCD severity [17][18][19], while others did not [20][21][22]. In a recent meta-analysis, it has been found that exposure to trauma is related to the severity of compulsions, but not to the severity of obsessions [23].…”

“…Third, impairment and treatment response were based on the participants' subjective ratings, and the adequacy of treatment trials and patients' compliance with recommended treatment were not known; further, the extent to which personality may have influenced perception and reporting of impairment and treatment response is unclear. Fourth, although we adjusted in analyses for several demographic and clinical features associated with personality, we cannot rule out potential confounding by other factors that might be associated with personality, impairment and treatment response in OCD, such as childhood adversities and adult traumatic experiences . Moreover, we did not assess dimensions of “state” anxiety and depression, which might impact impairment and treatment response, even in individuals without a history of anxiety and mood disorders.…”

“…(48) Dados de uma meta-análise (49) Em resumo, dados da literatura supracitada, por meio de metodologias diversas, demonstram que parece haver uma relação entre experiências adversas na infância e adolescência e a presença de SOC e/ou TOC. Este último apareceu associado ao abuso sexual e negligência emocional (51) , a negligência e ao abuso emocional (62) . A presença de SOCs apareceu associada ao abuso emocional e à negligência física (59) ao abuso físico, à negligência (61) e ao abuso sexual (54,57,60).…”
