People with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) perform elaborate rituals to gain immediate relief from distressing thoughts, but these actions often disrupt daily functioning and productivity.
Delay discounting measures how much people prefer smaller, immediate rewards over larger, delayed ones, serving as key impulsivity measures. Conflicting research on OCD's delay discounting has left questions unanswered.
A global study found that individuals with OCD do not show significant differences in delay discounting compared to healthy individuals, indicating possible normal impulsivity levels.
Depression and anxiety symptoms have been linked to increased delay discounting in those with OCD, highlighting the complex interplay between various mental health issues.
