Abstract
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is often missed and misdiagnosed. This Editorial reminds the reader to screen for obsessions and compulsions; how OCD can be distinguished from other disorders characterised by recurrent thoughts and repetitive behaviours; and to facilitate better access to effective treatments for this often distressing and disabling disorder.
