Abstract
An integrative literature review is presented on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), its clinical and epidemiological aspects, as well as the impact of this condition on the individual's life. This condition is characterized by the presence of obsessive behaviors as well as recurrent compulsions. Generally, these behaviors resemble rituals, which, unlike mania, are time-consuming, which ends up causing suffering and even harm to the sufferer. Diagnostic criteria are used to define the condition, which can coexist with other comorbidities. There is a need for a multidisciplinary team to intervene to improve patients' quality of life, as well as treatment aimed at the various aspects of this disorder.
