The Canadian Network for Mood and Anxiety Treatments/ICOCS 2025 obsessive-compulsive disorder International Guidelines synthesize the evidence on the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the range of interventions available for the management of obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is anticipated that these new obsessive-compulsive disorder guidelines will enable psychiatrists and other clinicians to provide systematic, evidence-based care for their patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder across the lifespan.

Background

As a joint effort by the Canadian Network for Mood and Anxiety Treatments (Canadian Network for Mood and Anxiety Treatments) and the International College of Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum Disorders (ICOCS), these treatment guidelines provide an up-to-date synthesis of published literature on the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the range of interventions available for the management of obsessive-compulsive disorder (obsessive-compulsive disorder) across the lifespan.

Methods

A global group of obsessive-compulsive disorder experts were divided into panels to develop specific sections based on internal group discussions and the evidence extracted from systematic literature searches.

More results

Recommendations are summarized in tables for ease of reference and caveats and limitations of the current evidence are discussed.
