Abstract:
The study involved analysis of the syndrome m 76 patients with clinical diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and 186 patients with clinical diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) ascertained at the time of their initial visit. Analyses included sex, occurrence of organie changes of the central nervous system (CNS), as well as the information about personality characteristics (16 PF Cattell Inventory). The purpose of the study was to ascertain similarities and differences in the occurrence and severity of symptoms (obtained with the symptom checklist ,,O") and correlations between them, as well as to compare personality dimensions in patients with OCD and GAD. The study revealed differences in the occurrence and severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms and m correlations between obsessions and compulsions, but didn 't show significant differences in the severity of anxiety between both samples; patients with OCD and with GAD differed in the severity of 5 from 14 scales of the symptom checklist. Factor analyses revealed the occurrence of two distinct symptom factors - obsessions and compulsions and similar factor anxiety/depression in both groups; the symptom structure of 4 other identified dimensions was different in OCD and GAD. The analyses didn't reveal any significant differences in the intensity of personality traits in patients with OCD and GAD. Th ; e results show that the severity of anxiety is associated with occurrence of organie changes of the CNS and that obsessive-compulsive symptoms correlate significantly and positively with anxiety.
