Abstrakt: | Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a prevalent and debilitating mental health condition. This literature review examines the latest strategies in managing and treating OCD, with an emphasis on psychotherapy, pharmacological interventions, and neurosurgical options. A comprehensive literature search utilizing PubMed, Google Scholar, ClinicalKey, and Embase databases was conducted. Utilizing chosen keywords, the resulting articles were filtered based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Included articles were used to discuss current research regarding OCD treatment and management. Findings reveal the efficacy and obstacles of treatments such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), and evidence-based neurosurgical methods, offering a broad perspective on OCD management. We discuss the limitations of these established treatments and examine the innovative response of neurosurgery in treating patients with OCD. This review highlights the importance of individualized treatment plans and areas for future research. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
