Overview

Once believed to be rare, OCD was found to have a lifetime prevalence of 2,300 per 100,000 (2.3%) of the overall population. The twelve month prevalence of OCD is 1,200 per 100,000 (1.2%) of the overall population.[1][2] Discovery of effective treatments and education of patients and health care providers have significantly increased the identification of individuals with OCD. International studies have shown a similar incidence and prevalence of OCD worldwide.

Epidemiology and Demographics

  • Obsessive compulsive disorder has a lifetime prevalence of 2,300 per 100,000 (2.3 percent), though many cases of OCD go untreated in primary care settings.[2][3]
  • The 12-month prevalence of obsessive compulsive disorder in the general population is 1,200 per 100,000 (1.2%).[1]
  • Individuals who have not completed high school have a higher lifetime prevalence of OCD (3.4 percent) than those who have (1.9 percent ). Those with a college diploma, on the other hand, have a higher lifetime prevalence (3.1 percent) than those with only a high school diploma (2.4 percent ).
  • The average age of onset for OCD is 19.5 years old, but it can range from late adolescence to the mid-20s in both sexes. However, the age of onset for males is younger than that for females.[4]
  • According to a 2008 study, OCD symptoms in Japanese patients are similar to those in Western countries, proving that the disorder transcends culture and geography[5]
  • Sufferers are thought to have above-average intelligence because the disorder necessitates complicated thinking patterns.
