Abstract

The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has physically and mentally affected people. A systematic review of the influence of COVID-19 on the exacerbation and incidence of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms in OCD patients and healthy population was carried out. Results obtained from 23 research articles and 1 case study are organized by population and geographic area and are discussed in comparison with previous pandemics. Some studies indicate that OCD symptomatology has been negatively affected by COVID-19, while others suggest that it remains unaffected and/or has improved. This topic should continue to be investigated.
