In addition, several neurocognitive studies report risky decision-making (preference for an immediate reward despite negative future consequences) in both adults and children with OCD ( Cavedini, Gorni & Bellodi, 2006 Cavedini, Riboldi, D’Annucci & Bellodi, 2002 Cavedini, Riboldi, Keller, D’Annucci & Bellodi 2002 Cavedini et al., 2012 Cavedini, Zorci, Piccini, Cavallini & Bellodi 2010 da Rocha, Alvarenga, Malloy-Diniz & Correa 2011 da Rocha, Malloy-Diniz, Lage & Correa 2011 da Rocha et al. Moreover, a recent study demonstrated excessive self-control (the capacity to delay rewards) only in obsessive–compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) patients, but not in OCD patients ( Pinto, Steinglass, Greene, Weber & Simpson, 2013). Although this portrait fits well with several clinical studies showing increased harm-avoidance in obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) ( Kim, Kang & Kim, 2009), more recent clinical, neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies challenged this idea and described a different portrait of OCD.įirst of all, several clinical studies suggest that impulsivity may be a feature of OCD ( Benatti, Dell’Osso, Arici, Hollander & Altamura, 2013 Ettelt et al., 2007). The stereotypical portrait of an obsessive–compulsive patient is an excessively self-controlled, risk aversive individual that acts in order to avoid potential loss or punishments. ![]()
