Scientific title
Study objectivesAlthough serotonin reuptake inhibitors are effective in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), many patients fail to respond to these agents. Growing evidence from open-label and placebo-controlled trials suggests a role for augmentation of serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs) with atypical antipsychotics in OCD. Quetiapine is generally well tolerated and previous open-label data has produced mixed results in OCD, and additional controlled data is needed.
