OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER IN 2 BLACK ETHNIC-GROUPS - INCIDENCE IN AN URBAN DERMATOLOGY CLINIC [Meeting Abstract]

FRIEDMAN, S; HATCH, M; PARADIS, CM; POPKIN, M; SHALITA, AR
Recent epidemiological data indicate that the incidence rate for African-Americans and non African-Americans is roughly equivalent for panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and generalized anxiety disorder. Despite these findings, few African-Americans present for treatment for OCD in psychiatric settings. Our hypothesis was that African-Americans with OCD may initially seek treatment from dermatologists. Dermatologists clinic patients who presented with one of several chronic pruritic conditions were randomly screened. Fifteen percent were found to suffer with undiagnosed OCD and an additional 11% were found to suffer with either panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Thoughts on cooperation between psychiatry and dermatology in identifying and treating patients with anxiety disorders are discussed.

Anxiety disorders in a neuromuscular clinic

Paradis, C M; Friedman, S; Lazar, R M; Kula, R W
Twenty patients with myasthenia gravis and 15 patients with polymyositis/dermatomyositis were assessed with a structured interview. Fifteen patients (43%) were diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. Significantly more myasthenic patients (40%) than polymyositis/dermatomyositis patients (7%) were diagnosed with panic disorder/agoraphobia. These findings suggest that the symptoms of myasthenia gravis may predispose vulnerable individuals to panic disorder/agoraphobia.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder in patients with chronic pruritic conditions: case studies and discussion [Case Report]

Hatch, M L; Paradis, C; Friedman, S; Popkin, M; Shalita, A R
BACKGROUND: Relatively few persons with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) come to psychiatric clinics for treatment. Our hypothesis was that patients with a form of OCD that involves compulsive hand and body washing might initially seek treatment from a dermatologist. OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to screen patients attending a dermatology clinic to determine the frequency of OCD cases and to help dermatologists recognize this disorder. METHODS: Randomly selected patients who presented with one of several chronic pruritic conditions were interviewed to determine the presence of anxiety disorders. RESULTS: A significantly high percentage of the patients (14%) were found to have previously undiagnosed OCD. Case studies of five of these patients are presented. CONCLUSION: A significant number of patients with undiagnosed OCD appear to present to dermatology clinics. Identification and referral for psychiatric consultation may aid in the treatment of both OCD and concomitant dermatologic conditions.
