66. CONCLUSION: Although obsessive compulsive disorder has been described since 15 th century, it was thought to be rare.OCD was often thought to be an affliction requiring religious intervention. The catholic church, labeled the condition ‘excessive scrupulosity’ when rituals & compulsions were exhibited by priest & parishioners. OCD is unique among anxiety disorder by appearing to be much more dominated by cognitive & related complex behavioral symptomatology with autonomic dysregulation playing little role.
