Background and Aims:

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) typically begins early in life and has a chronic course. Despite the need for long-term treatment, the information about therapeutic effect on different clinical subtypes is limited.

Method:

Continuous out patients with OCD were evaluated for response to a 2months Fluoxetine therapy course by Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale according to the clinical subtype of the disease.

Results:

Of 265 patients, Fluoxetine significantly decrease the symptoms in general. Yale-Brown Average score in washers and patients with obsessive thoughts significantly decreased after the intervention, while the decrease in Y-BOCS in checkers didn't reach the statistical significance.

Conclusions:

Fluoxetine demonstrated sustained efficacy among patients with OCD and was generally well tolerated. Fluoxetine demonstrated greater efficacy in washers and on obsessive thoughts than checkers.
