“…This may thus be considered an early observation by Kraepelin for which more recent research data provided evidence. 41 Although Kraepelin linked health concerns (''hypochondriac obsessions'') to the potential development of depressive psychosis in the first edition of his textbook, he later argued that patients showing a very long-lasting and severe course, especially with the ''fear of dust'' and ''fear of being touched and touching'' symptoms, were particularly prone to show lower levels of insight. Further, he attempted to ''normalize'' patients' attitudes toward their symptoms by claiming that, just like a healthy person can lose discretion and see the world in a different light when conquered by vivid emotions, the patient's clear understanding can be defeated by the fearful excitations [IV, 1874-5].…”

“…Commonly, OCD symptoms begin during childhood and have a chronic course, causing severe impairments in both interpersonal and occupational functioning [84][85][86] . In addition, pharmacotherapy is only effective in 40%-60% of patients [87] , and cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT),which has been reported as the most effective treatment for OCD [88] , is not readily available to the majority of patients.…”

The interest in non-invasive brain stimulation techniques is increasing in recent years. Among these techniques, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been the subject of great interest among researchers because of its easiness to use, low cost, benign profile of side effects and encouraging results of research in the field. This interest has generated several studies and randomized clinical trials, particularly in psychiatry. In this review, we provide a summary of the development of the technique and its mechanism of action as well as a review of the methodological aspects of randomized clinical trials in psychiatry, including studies in affective disorders, schizophrenia, obsessive compulsive disorder, child psychiatry and substance use disorder. Finally, REVIEWSubmit a

Despite the long-held view that hoarding is a symptom of both obsessive-compulsive disorder and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, increased evidence has emerged during the last 20 years suggesting that hoarding represents a distinct form of psychopathology. This study reflects the discussions on the nosological status of hoarding carried out by the WHO ICD-11 Working Group on the Classification of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders. The distinctiveness of hoarding is based on its having core symptoms that differ from those of other disorders, as well as distinctive neurobiological correlates and treatment responses. Furthermore, data showing the clinical utility, global applicability, and appropriateness of the concept of hoarding disorder outside specialty mental health settings suggest that this condition should be included in ICD-11. Finally, given the focus of ICD-11 on primary care and public health, the Working Group suggests that poor insight and severe domestic squalor may be considered as specifiers for hoarding disorder in ICD-11.
