    Ten outpatients meeting DSM-III-R criteria for obsessive-compulsive disorder completed a 32-week, open-label study with fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake blocker. The patients were evaluated every four weeks for obsessive-compulsive symptomatology, anxiety, and depression. Significant improvement of obsessive-compulsive and anxiety measures were observed after four weeks, with maximal improvement at eight weeks. Depressed and nondepressed patients showed similar rates of improvement in obsessive-compulsive symptomatology. Overall, fluoxetine was tolerated well by all patients, and no serious side effects were observed. This study suggests that fluoxetine is an effective and safe treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder, both for short-term alleviation and for long-term maintenance.

    Obsessive-compulsive disorder was once thought to be rare. Recent epidemiologic surveys reveal the lifetime prevalence rate to be as high as 3%. We now have greater understanding of the neurophysiologic and neurochemical basis of this very crippling disorder. Although obsessive-compulsive disorder often starts in adolescence or early adulthood and can last a lifetime, effective treatment enables most patients to lead relatively normal lives.

Exposure treatment and relaxation in cognitive behavioral therapy are similar with Qigong therapy and Kyungja-pyungji treatment in oriental psychotherapy.3. Both of them demand to avoid the avarice and stiff thoughts in life.4. Both of them are related to preventive psychiatry.
